Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical cloud model was used to investigate a squall line that occurred over the Taiwan Strait on 16 May 1987 during TAMEX (Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment). This squall line illustrated multicellular ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical simulation is presented in which five new cells (clouds) develop in succession over a 4 h period. The cells that develop have common characteristics including a lifetime of ?40 min. They form ...

Abstract: The rainfall regimes of Taiwan are investigated using the 18-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) data (1980?97), the available 38-yr daily rainfall data from 25 conventional surface stations around ...

Abstract: The effect of seeding with carbon black dust in the tropical atmosphere is simulated in a two-dimensional time-dependent cloud model which covers a region 6.4 km ? 3.2 km in the x and z directions with 200 m grid intervals. ...

Abstract: The field program TAMEX (Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment) was held during May and June 1987. One of its objectives was to study the cited of terrain on precipitation systems. On 7 June 1987 a band of radar echo, orientated ...

Abstract: A north?south-oriented, multicellular squall line during the Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment?s (TAMEX) intensive observation period 2 was studied, using dual-Doppler radar data, as it moved over the island of Taiwan. Over ...

Abstract: lobal positioning system (GPS) radio occultation (RO) data have been broadly used in global and regional numerical weather predictions. Assimilation with the bending angle often performs better than refractivity, which is ...

Abstract: wo contrasting localized heavy rainfall events during Taiwan?s early summer rainy season with the daily rainfall maximum along the windward mountain range and coast were studied and compared using a combination of observations ...

Abstract: The seasonal variations of heavy rainfall days over Taiwan are analyzed using 6-yr (1997?2002) hourly rainfall data from about 360 rainfall stations, including high-spatial-resolution Automatic Rainfall and Meteorological ...

Abstract: AbstractDuring 11?12 June 2012, heavy precipitation occurred over the northwestern Taiwan coast (~435 mm) and within the Taipei basin (~477 mm). With the presence of a midlatitude omega-blocking pattern, a persistent cold ...
