The Weather Research and Forecasting model is used to simulate an idealized MCS, which is compared with an MCS in a drier midlevel environment. The MCS in the drier environment is smaller, moves slightly faster, and exhibits increased descent and more strongly focused areas of enhanced CMT near the surface in the trailing stratiform region relative to that in the control simulation. }, number={5}, journal={MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW}, author={Mahoney, Kelly M. and Lackmann, Gary M.}, year={2011}, month={May}, pages={1352–1369} } @article{mahoney_lackmann_parker_2009, title={The Role of Momentum Transport in the Motion of a Quasi-Idealized Mesoscale Convective System}, volume={137}, ISSN={["1520-0493"]}, DOI={10.1175/2009MWR2895.1}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={10}, journal={MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW}, author={Mahoney, Kelly M. and Lackmann, Gary M. and Parker, Matthew D.}, year={2009}, month={Oct}, pages={3316–3338} } @article{brennan_lackmann_mahoney_2008, title={Potential vorticity (PV) thinking in operations: The utility of nonconservation}, volume={23}, ISSN={["0882-8156"]}, DOI={10.1175/2007WAF2006044.1}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={WEATHER AND FORECASTING}, author={Brennan, Michael J. and Lackmann, Gary M. and Mahoney, Kelly M.}, year={2008}, month={Feb}, pages={168–182} } @article{mahoney_lackmann_2007, title={The effect of upstream convection on downstream precipitation}, volume={22}, ISSN={["1520-0434"]}, DOI={10.1175/WAF986.1}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={2}, journal={WEATHER AND FORECASTING}, author={Mahoney, Kelly M. and Lackmann, Gary M.}, year={2007}, month={Apr}, pages={255–277} } @article{mahoney_lackmann_2006, title={The sensitivity of numerical forecasts to convective parameterization: A case study of the 17 February 2004 east coast cyclone}, volume={21}, ISSN={["1520-0434"]}, DOI={10.1175/WAF937.1}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={4}, journal={WEATHER AND FORECASTING}, author={Mahoney, Kelly M. and Lackmann, Gary M.}, year={2006}, month={Aug}, pages={465–488} }
