Central Region Applied Research Papers: No. 12

The NWS Central Region Applied Research Paper (CRARP) series is an informal medium to compile and distribute a small part of the on-station research efforts being performed by the operational personnel of the Central Region. As the National Weather Service becomes more involved in using high technology to sample, describe, and forecast the weather, this medium has been made available to encourage the transfer of useful knowledge and skills to other NWS offices. Many times on-station research efforts and case studies are only circulated locally due to the time and effort required to put the study into “publishable” form (both text and graphic). The following CRARP compilations are a vehicle to distribute scientific and operational information to other NWS offices without forcing the authors to perform the time-consuming work typically required to “pretty up” the figure. 1994 NWS (National Weather Service) CR (Central Region) Library Public Domain 1931
