Abstract: Previous studies have explained dryline movement to be a result of vertical turbulent mixing. Such mixing was shown to efficiently erode the western edge of the shallow moist layer above sloping terrain. Two- and ...

Abstract: Observations have shown that thunderstorms sometimes undergo updraft splitting, where one updraft moves to the right of the mean tropospheric wind and the other to the left. Observations also show that the left-moving ...

Abstract: A two-way interactive, nested-grid simulation of a rotating supercell thunderstorm was performed. After 90 min the genesis of a descending incipient tornado vortex initially located aloft was simulated. The associated ...

Abstract: A cloud-resolving model was used in conjunction with a radiative transfer (RT) modeling system to study 10.7-?m brightness temperatures computed for a simulated thunderstorm. A two-moment microphysical scheme was used that ...

Abstract: Observations have shown that right moving thunderstorms are favored in environments characterized by clockwise-turning hodographs. There are, however, a few observational and numerical studies of long-lived, left moving ...

Abstract: In a previous paper, the authors discussed the dynamics of an instability that occurs in inviscid, axisymmetric, two-dimensional vortices possessing a low-vorticity core surrounded by a high-vorticity annulus. Hurricanes, ...

Abstract: loud-top verification is inherently difficult because of large uncertainties in the estimates of observed cloud-top height. Misplacement of cloud top associated with transmittance through optically thin cirrus is one of ...

Abstract: A new paradigm for the resiliency of tropical cyclone (TC) vortices in vertical shear flow is presented. To elucidate the basic dynamics, the authors follow previous work and consider initially barotropic vortices on an f ...

Abstract: t is known that both Dvorak technique and advanced Dvorak technique?derived intensity estimates for tropical cyclones during extratropical transition are less reliable because the empirical relationships between cloud ...
