Abstract: This study documents offshore convective lines along the southeastern coast of Taiwan, a frequent but poorly understood mesoscale phenomenon that influences coastal weather during the Taiwan mei-yu season. Doppler radar ...

Abstract: This study presents precipitation verification of individual members and ensemble means in the Taiwan area for a real-time mesoscale ensemble prediction system, during the 2000, 2001, and 2002 early summer convective ...

Abstract: The formative stage of a long-lived mesoscale cyclonic vortex was captured by the NOAA P-3 aircraft as it investigated a developing mesoscale convective system (MCS) near the southeastern coast of Taiwan on 16 June 1987 ...

Abstract: Airborne Doppler radar and flight-level measurements were used to document the three-dimensional thermodynamic structure of a convective line that developed off the southeastern coast of Taiwan on 16 June 1987 during the ...

Abstract: This paper presents an evaluation study of a real-time fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) mesoscale ensemble prediction system in the Taiwan area during the 2003 mei-yu season. The ...

Abstract: Deducing the three-dimensional primary circulation of landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) from single ground-based Doppler radar data remains a difficult task. The evolution and structure of landfalling TCs and their ...

Abstract: The spatial and temporal characteristics and distributions of thunderstorms in Taiwan during the warm season (May?October) from 2005 to 2008 and under weak synoptic-scale forcing are documented using radar reflectivity, ...

Abstract: The primary circulation of atmospheric vortices, such as tropical cyclones and tornadoes, can be estimated from single-Doppler radar observations using the ground-based velocity track display (GBVTD) algorithm. The GBVTD ...
