RISKinematic and Precipitation Characteristics of Convective Systems Observed by Airborne Doppler Radar during the Life Cycle of a Madden–Julian Oscillation in the Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study presents characteristics of convective systems observed during the Dynamics of the Madden?Julian oscillation (DYNAMO) experiment by the instrumented NOAA WP-3D aircraft. Nine separate missions, with a focus on ...
Comparing the Convective Structure and Microphysics in Two Sahelian Mesoscale Convective Systems: Radar Observations and CRM Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) observed during the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (AMMA) experiment are simulated using the three-dimensional (3D) Goddard Cumulus Ensemble model. This study was undertaken ...
Radar Observations of Convective System Variability in Relationship to African Easterly Waves during the 2006 AMMA Special Observing Period
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A radar-based analysis of the structure, motion, and rainfall variability of westward-propagating squall-line mesoscale convective systems (SLMCSs) in Niamey, Niger, during the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Activities ...
Characteristics of an African Easterly Wave Observed during NAMMA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution of an African easterly wave is described using ground-based radar and ancillary datasets from three locations in West Africa: Niamey, Niger (continental), Dakar, Senegal (coastal), and Praia, Republic of Cape ...
A Comparison of the Water Budgets between Clouds from AMMA and TWP-ICE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo field campaigns, the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) and the Tropical Warm Pool?International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE), took place in 2006 near Niamey, Niger, and Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, ...
Aircraft Observations of Dry Air, the ITCZ, Convective Cloud Systems, and Cold Pools in MJO during DYNAMO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ne of the most challenging problems in predicting the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) is the initiation of large-scale convective activity associated with the MJO over the tropical Indian Ocean. The lack of observations ...
