Abstract: The evolution and structure of mesoscale convection in the South China Sea (SCS) region are documented for the first time mainly using the dual-Doppler radar dataset collected during the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment ...

Abstract: The near-surface winds and thermal profiles on the windward side of the island of Hawaii are studied using the dataset from the Hawaiian Rainband Project (HaRP), with special attention to the early morning and late afternoon ...

Abstract: A primary goal of the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX), a major field campaign of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), is to define the initiation, structure, evolution, and dynamics of precipitation ...

Abstract: A case study of trade-wind rainbands observed on 22 August 1990 during the Hawaiian Rainband Project is presented. It shows that the interaction between the morning rainbands and the island-induced airflow is important for ...

Abstract: The diurnal variation in the surface thermodynamic fields over the island of Hawaii is presented for the first time. The diurnal ranges in temperature and dewpoint vary considerably over the island. In addition to the ...

Abstract: The effects of precipitation on the surface temperature and airflow over the island of Hawaii, which are not considered in previous studies, are presented. It is found that clouds and rains can modify the surface thermal ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional cloud-resolving simulation is combined with dual-Doppler and polarimetric radar analysis to study the evolution, dynamic structure, cloud microphysics, and rainfall processes of monsoon convection observed ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytical solution is given in the form of a Taylor series for long-wave scattering by a cylindrical island mounted on a general shoal, where the water depth in the shoal region can be a real constant ...

Abstract: In this paper, linear long-wave reflection by a rectangular obstacle with two scour trenches of power function profile is explored. A closed-form analytical solution in terms of the first and second kinds of Bessel functions ...

Abstract: The diurnal cycle of airflow on the island of Hawaii and the structure of the low-level flow separation line between the island-induced offshore flow and incoming trade winds are reasonably well understood. This study ...
