RISThe Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX): An Overview
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX) is a research program conducted jointly by scientists of Taiwan, the Republic of China, and the United States to improve, through better understanding, the forecasting of heavy ...
Case Study of the Leeside Mesolow and Mesocyclone in TAMEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An observational study was performed on a leeside mesolow case that occurred 8 June 1987 during the Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX). The case developed as prevailing west-southwest winds strengthened and interacted ...
A Diagnostic Case Study of a Winter Low-Level Front over Southern China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A diagnostic case study was carried out for a lower-tropospheric front over southern China in association with lee cyclogenesis over the Yun-Guei Plateau (23°?29°N, 102°?110°E) during the period of 25?27 December 1991. The ...
Case Study of an Unusually Heavy Rain Event over Eastern Taiwan during the Mei-Yu Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A heavy rain event during the mei-yu season was observed over eastern Taiwan on 28 May 2001 under a potentially unstable environment with high CAPE and copious moisture. This event, with an unusually high daily rainfall ...
Kinematic Characteristics of a Mei-yu Front Detected by the QuikSCAT Oceanic Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on conventional surface observations and NASA Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) data, a heavy rainfall event that occurred in the Taiwan mei-yu season was chosen to further study the kinematic characteristics of the ...
Variability of Warm-Season Cloud Episodes over East Asia Based on GMS Infrared Brightness Temperature Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present study has used the Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (GMS) IR brightness temperature observations to investigate the regional and intraseasonal variability of east Asian warm-season cloud/precipitation ...
A Case Study of Subtropical Frontogenesis during a Blocking Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During 8?14 June 2000, a 500-hPa blocking event occurred over Mongolia and northern China (near 45°N, 108°E), which was the only case over this region in June since 1981. As the block developed, the initially weak low-level ...
A Numerical Simulation of Vortex Development during the 1992 East Asian Summer Monsoon Onset Using the Navy’s Regional Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Significant rainfall of the east Asian summer monsoon is produced by low-level disturbances moving eastward in the vicinity of the Yangtze River valley. Many of these disturbances appeared to originate from stationary ...
A Diagnostic Study of a Retreating Mei-Yu Front and the Accompanying Low-Level Jet Formation and Intensification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During 7?8 June 1998, an organized mesoscale convective system (MCS) formed within the mei-yu frontal cloud band and moved northeastward to produce heavy rain over the island of Taiwan. During this period, the section of ...
A Diagnostic Case Study of Mei-yu Frontogenesis and Development of Wavelike Frontal Disturbances in the Subtropical Environment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During 6?7 June 2003, a mei-yu front over southern China, with active mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) along it and to its south, intensified rapidly in 24 h to possess a strong cyclonic circulation with relative vorticity ...
