Abstract: Observations of a severe form of rainband, which is comprised of a line of strong but shallow convection, suggest that the environment into which it moves is nearly neutrally stratified with respect to moist convection. A ...

Abstract: The various processes within the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) during precipitation events tend to thermally stabilize the ABL. Selected observations are presented in order to illustrate this thermal stabilization for ...

Abstract: For a propagating mesoscale system whose intensity and structure is not changing with time, relatively coarse horizontal profiler resolution is sufficient to resolve the feature since the circulation would pass by the ...

Abstract: The impact of very wet soil and canopy temperatures on the surface sensible heat flux, and on related daytime boundary-layer properties is evaluated. For very wet soils, two winter situations are considered, related to ...

Abstract: In this study a summer air pollution episode from 6 to 8 August 1994 over Athens, Greece, is investigated through advanced atmospheric modeling. This episode was reported from the air quality monitoring network, as well ...

Abstract: The temporal variation of specific humidity during morning hours was evaluated by analytic and numerical model scaling as well as by observational means. The scaling quantified (i) the gradual increase in the shelter ...

Abstract: he September 2013 flash flood?triggering rainfall event in Colorado highlighted the strong underestimation of remote sensing techniques over mountainous terrain. In this work, the use of high-resolution rainfall forecasts ...

Abstract: Unsworth and Monteith's attenuation coefficient TUM was calculated from midday cloudless sky data in Athens, Greece, for the period 1954 to 1991. An interdependence between TUM and the Linke factor TL was found and is ...

Abstract: The present study provides a preliminary evaluation of mesoscale circulations forced by surface gradients of heating arising from irrigated areas adjacent to dry land, utilizing a combination of satellite, observational, ...

Abstract: Mesometeorological information obtained in several research projects in southern Europe has been used to analyze perceived changes in the western Mediterranean summer storm regime. A procedure was developed to disaggregate ...
