Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large-amplitude lee-wave rotor event observationally documented during Sierra Rotors Project Intensive Observing Period (IOP) 8 on 24?26 March 2004 in the lee of the southern Sierra Nevada is examined. Mountain waves and ...
Maintenance of a Mountain Valley Cold Pool: A Numerical Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A persistent cold-air pool in the Yampa Valley of northwestern Colorado was simulated with the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5). The observed ...
Latent Heating and Cooling Rates in Developing and Nondeveloping Tropical Disturbances during TCS-08: Radar-Equivalent Retrievals from Mesoscale Numerical Models and ELDORA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atent heating and cooling rates have a critical role in predicting tropical cyclone formation and intensification. In a prior study, Park and Elsberry estimated the latent heating and cooling rates from aircraft Doppler ...
