RISSome Synoptic-Scale Aspects of the Surface Fronts over Southern China during TAMEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although the term ?Mei-Yu? is widely used to describe the early-summer rainy season of Taiwan, it is shown that during TAMEX (Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment), most of the surface fronts over southern China differ from ...
Diagnosis of the Net Cloud Mass Flux in Gate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A diagnostic analysis of the net cloud mass flux for the mean state of Phase III is presented. In the upper troposphere, the environmental mass flux is shown to be slightly larger than the adiabatic sinking motion required ...
Tropical Squall Lines over the Eastern Atlantic during GATE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the entire period of GATE, all oceanic squall lines over the A/B array developed in the vicinity of the near-equatorial convergence zone (NECZ) when a strong midtropospheric easterly jet along the leading and southern ...
Numerical Simulations of Two Trapped Mountain Lee Waves Downstream of Oahu
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo trapped lee-wave events dominated by the transverse mode downstream of the island of Oahu in Hawaii?27 January 2010 and 24 January 2003?are simulated using the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) Model with a horizontal ...
Modulation of Convective Activity by Large-scale Flow Patterns Observed in GATE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The primary goal of this study is to examine how rain events, basically of convective nature, observed during the GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) were modulated by large-scale flow patterns. The low-level convergence ...
Large-Scale Conditions Favorable for the Development of Heavy Rainfall during TAMEX IOP 3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large-scale processes responsible for development of heavy precipitation during 20?23 May 1987 along the southeastern China coast are studied. There are two distinct rainfall peaks around 0000 UTC 20 May and 0000 UTC ...
Numerical Simulations of Airflow and Cloud Distributions over the Windward Side of the Island of Hawaii. Part II: Nocturnal Flow Regime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical experiments are performed with the fifth generation Mesoscale Model to study the evolution of island airflow, thermodynamic fields, and clouds over the island of Hawaii at night. The model has successfully simulated ...
A Case Study of Nocturnal Rain Showers over the Windward Coastal Region of the Island of Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nocturnal rain showers over the windward side of the island of Hawaii were investigated from the late afternoon of 2 August to the early morning of 3 August 1990 during the Hawaiian Rainband Project (HaRP). Three types of ...
Circulations and Rainfall on the Lee Side of the Island of Hawaii during HaRP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using aircraft data and portable automated mesonet (PAM) data during the Hawaiian Rainband Project (HaRP; 11 July?24 August 1990), the circulation on the lee side of the island of Hawaii is analyzed. The largest temperature ...
