Radar Observations of the Diurnally Forced Offshore Convective Lines along the Southeastern Coast of Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
MM5 Ensemble Mean Precipitation Forecasts in the Taiwan Area for Three Early Summer Convective (Mei-Yu) Seasons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...

Formative Stage of a Long-Lived Mesoscale Vortex Observed by Airborne Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Retrieved Thermodynamic Structure of a Subtropical, Orographically Influenced, Quasi-Stationary Convective Line
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
MM5 Ensemble Mean Forecasts in the Taiwan Area for the 2003 Mei-Yu Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Tropical Cyclone Kinematic Structure Retrieved from Single-Doppler Radar Observations. Part I: Interpretation of Doppler Velocity Patterns and the GBVTD Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Warm Season Afternoon Thunderstorm Characteristics under Weak Synoptic-Scale Forcing over Taiwan Island
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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, ...
Generalized VTD Retrieval of Atmospheric Vortex Kinematic Structure. Part I: Formulation and Error Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
