Description
The evoluation of low-level flow upstream of the Continental Divide (Rocky Mountains) from being blocked, i.e. unable to surmount the barrier, to becoming unblocked and blocked again is studied observationally and numerically.

Description
During the evening hours of 31 July 1976 heavy precipitation fell along the Colorado Front Range resulting in flash flooding in the Big Thompson Canyon causing the death of 139 people with 35.5 million dollar damage. This report utilizes GOES-1 infrared (IR) imagery to estimate the heavy convective precipitation during the Big Thompson Flood.

Description
A dust and deposition module has been added to the CSU Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS). The new scheme utilizes a global map of potential sources and parameterizes emissions based on model wind speed and soil moisture. This study focuses on the testing of the new scheme, with emphasis on its ability to accurately model the spatial extent of dust as well as the column optical thickness and surface visibility.

Description
The major storm through the Midwest during the period 26 January to 28 January, 1967 was investigated to determine the cause of the narrow belt of exceedingly heavy snowfall, and to illustrate the relationship between the broad scale air motion and the synoptic and mesoscale precipitation pattern.

Description
In an effort to better quantify winter time particulate matter (PM) and the contribution of wood smoke to pollution events in Fresno, a field campaign was conducted between December 24th, 2003 and January 15, 2004. Over this three week period both coarse and fine daily PM samples were collected at five locations in Fresno including residential, urban, and industrial sites.

Description
A one-layer bulk boundary layer model is developed following earlier work by Randall and Moeng. The model predicts the mixed layer values of the potential temperature, mixing ratio, and u- and v-momentum. The model also predicts the depth of the boundary layer and the vertically integrated turbulence kinetic energy (TKE).
