Article: Local and synoptic environments associated with freezing rain in the contiguous United States

ABSTRACT

Local and synoptic conditions associated with freezing-rain events in the continental United States, as well as the temporal and spatial variability of these conditions, have been documented for the period 1976-90. It had been postulated that the characteristics of the thermodynamic stratification observed during freezing rain would be similar regardless of geographical location. However, through hypothesis testing, it was found that some interregional variability exists in the magnitude of various sounding parameters that the authors felt characterized the important aspects of the thermodynamic profile of freezing-rain environments. This variability seems to be related not only ...
