Book Description
Snow squalls are progressive mesoscale convective systems characterized by brief, sudden bursts of heavy snow, reduced visibility, and gusty winds. Snow squalls present a significant hazard to motorists across the Northeast and are one of the leading causes of weather-related fatalities on Pennsylvania roadways. Thus, there is a need to understand the environmental factors that lead to snow squall formation and organization to provide relevant and accurate information to those impacted. Prior research on snow squalls has been mostly limited to a handful of case studies of notable events. These studies focused on the classic linear snow squall but did not account for the larger variety of convective snow modes that are frequently observed. Thus, we identified a need to create a robust climatology of convective snow (CS) events. Using NEXRAD data from KCCX, a novel radar CS detection algorithm was developed and applied to ten cold seasons at an hourly interval (2012-2022) to identify CS events in central Pennsylvania. In total, 159 cases were identified during the period, and multiple different modes of convective organization were observed during each case. Several primary modes were identified: linear snow squall, single cells, multicells, and streamer bands, and each hour during all of the cases was classified as one of these modes. Interestingly, the most-studied classic linear snow squall only occurred

Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 32 (thesis year 1987) a total of 12,483 theses titles from 22 Canadian and 176 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 32 reports theses submitted in 1987, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
