Damaging Downburst Prediction and Detection Algorithm (DDPDA)

 

These are notes from the internal NSSL meetingon the DDPDA on 7/25/97.  Comments made at the meeting are bracketed and/or in red.   I probably missed a few, so if you want to add anything, please let me know.

In atten dance:  Mike Eilts, Kim Elmore, V. Lakshman, Pam MacKeen, DeWayne Mitchell, Phillip Spencer, Travis Smith, Greg Stumpf, Arthur Witt.

Please send any and all comments and corrections to smith@eureka.nssl.noaa.gov and I'll add it to the notes.  I'll be creating a DDPDA status page pretty soon so everone can keep up with where the algorithm is going.  I'll also be making a bunch of stuff available for the Damaging Winds Focus Group to start looking at.

Thanks!

Travis


 
Purpose of the algorithm:  provide warning guidance for operational forecasters of potential damaging wind events.
