Hi Case Study Community,

We are trying a different approach to the case study announcements.  With
Case 015, a Web link is provided for users to access the detailed
information about the case study.  There are numerous hot links
within this page that will provide information on case 015 and other case
studies available through the WWW interface.

Southeast U.S. Cyclogenesis, 28 April 1998

Case 015 follows the evolution of a low pressure system through its
lifecycle as it moves from Arkansas to Illinois, and provides a good
example of the effects of model biases in the AVN model.  The errors
introduced to the AVN model due to inherent biases resulted in an
incorrect prediction of strong cyclogenesis over the Gulf of Mexico.  Case
015 is now available for searching, browsing, and ordering for FTP
download through the CODIAC WWW system.
Case 015 was presented as a laboratory exercise during the COMAP
Symposia on Numerical Weather Prediction held at COMET.  Case 015
includes GOES-8 satellite imagery; NOWRAD composite radar imagery from
WSI; surface and upper air observations; NCEP model data; and textual
products from the NWS Family Of Services (FOS).  For additional
information on this case, including a lab exercise and other support
documentation, see the above referenced URL.
