Leeside Boundary Layer Confluence and Afternoon Thunderstorms over Mayaguez, Puerto Rico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he midsummer boundary layer (BL) circulation and afternoon thunderstorm convection on the lee side of Puerto Rico is studied using observations and high-resolution models. Satellite infrared data help to identify cases on ...
Numerical Modeling of an Orographically Enhanced Precipitation Event Associated with Tropical Storm Rachel over Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An orographic rainfall event that occurred on 6?7 August 1999 during the passage of Tropical Storm (TS) Rachel over Taiwan is investigated by performing triply nested, nonhydrostatic numerical simulations using the Naval ...
Numerical Investigations on the Formation of Tropical Storm Debby during NAMMA-06
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale model forecasts were carried out beginning at 0000 UTC 19 August for simulating Tropical Disturbance 4, which was named Tropical Storm Debby on 22 August 2006. The Weather Research and Forecasting model, with ...
Mesocirculation Associated with Summer Convection over the Central Antilles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he mesoscale structure of the circulation and convection over central Caribbean Antilles islands in midsummer is analyzed. Afternoon thunderstorms are frequent over islands such as Hispaniola and Jamaica as confluent trade ...
Case Studies of Tropical Cyclones and Phytoplankton Blooms over Atlantic and Pacific Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates phytoplankton blooms following the passage of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean basins. The variables of sea surface temperature (SST), chlorophyll (Chl-a), precipitation, and storm ...
Improving High-Resolution Model Forecasts of Downslope Winds in the Las Vegas Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: umerical simulations for severe downslope winds as well as trapped lee waves in Nevada?s Las Vegas Valley were performed in this study. The goal of this study was to improve model forecasts of downslope-wind-event intensities. ...
Numerical Study of the Orographic Forcing of Heavy Precipitation during MAP IOP-2B
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper investigates the local circulation associated with a heavy orographic rainfall event during 19?21 September 1999 [Mesoscale Alpine Programme Intensive Observing Period 2B (MAP IOP-2B)]. This event was simulated ...
Orographic Influences on Rainfall and Track Deflection Associated with the Passage of a Tropical Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, a nonhydrostatic mesoscale model [Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS)] was adopted to simulate Supertyphoon Bilis (2000) and investigate the dynamics of orographic rain and track ...
Some Common Ingredients for Heavy Orographic Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to synthesize some common synoptic and mesoscale environments conducive to heavy orographic rainfall. Previous studies of U.S. and Alpine cases and new analyses of some Alpine and east Asian ...
