RISSynthesis of Results from the North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME) Process Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An international team of scientists from the United States, Mexico, and Central America carried out a major field campaign during the summer of 2004 to develop an improved understanding of the North American monsoon system ...
Measurements of Heavy Convective Rainfall in the Presence of Hail in Flood-Prone Areas Using an X-Band Polarimetric Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he utility of X-band polarimetric radar to provide rainfall estimations with high spatial and temporal resolution in heavy convective precipitation in the presence of hail is explored. A case study involving observations ...
Influence of the Madden–Julian Oscillation and Intraseasonal Waves on Surface Wind and Convection of the Tropical Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tmospheric intraseasonal variability in the tropical Atlantic is analyzed using satellite winds, outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), and reanalysis products during 2000?08. The analyses focus on assessing the effects of ...
Hydrometeorological Response of the Modeled North American Monsoon to Convective Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the second part of a study to document the sensitivity of the modeled regional moisture flux patterns and hydrometeorological response of the North American monsoon system (NAMS) to convective ...
Effects of Initial Soil Moisture on Rainfall Generation and Subsequent Hydrologic Response during the North American Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Through the use of a mesoscale meteorological model and distributed hydrologic model, the effects of initial soil moisture on rainfall generation, streamflow, and evapotranspiration during the North American monsoon are ...
Towards Assessing NARCCAP Regional Climate Model Credibility for the North American Monsoon: Current Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors examine 17 dynamically downscaled simulations produced as part of the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) for their skill in reproducing the North American monsoon system. The ...
The Diurnal Cycle of Clouds and Precipitation along the Sierra Madre Occidental Observed during NAME-2004: Implications for Warm Season Precipitation Estimation in Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the spatial and temporal variability in the diurnal cycle of clouds and precipitation tied to topography within the North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME) tier-I domain during the 2004 NAME enhanced ...
Effects of Water-Table Configuration on the Planetary Boundary Layer over the San Joaquin River Watershed, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he boundary layer, land surface, and subsurface are important coevolving components of hydrologic systems. While previous studies have examined the connections between soil moisture, groundwater, and the atmosphere, the ...
Sensitivity of the Modeled North American Monsoon Regional Climate to Convective Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper documents the sensitivity of the modeled evolution of the North American monsoon system (NAMS) to convective parameterization in terms of thermodynamic and circulation characteristics, stability profiles, and ...
Limits to Flood Forecasting in the Colorado Front Range for Two Summer Convection Periods Using Radar Nowcasting and a Distributed Hydrologic Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lood forecasting in mountain basins remains a challenge given the difficulty in accurately predicting rainfall and in representing hydrologic processes in complex terrain. This study identifies flood predictability patterns ...
