Abstract: The extreme precipitation event that occurred on 27 December 1989 over the South Island of New Zealand was simulated using the DAR hydrostatic mesoscale model nested within the ECMWF analyses. The model simulated nearly ...

Abstract: The extreme precipitation events with peak observed rainfall of greater than 700 mm over the South Island of New Zealand were simulated using the DAR hydrostatic mesoscale model nested within the ECMWF analyses. The ECMWF ...

Abstract: A nested global, limited-area model was used to predict the President's Day cyclone of 18-19 February 1979. Both a low (?150 km) and a high (?50 km) horizontal resolution version were used. The model has full physics with ...

Abstract: A regional climate model (DARLAM) is implemented over the Australian region and a 20-yr seasonally varying simulation is examined for the presence of tropical cyclone?like vortices (TCLVs). The horizontal resolution of the ...

Abstract: The ability of the CSIRO-9 General Circulation Model (GCM) to capture surface cutoff lows over eastern Australia is investigated by comparing composites of ten GCM cases with ten observed lows. The lows are also studied ...

Abstract: A scheme for calculation of the liquid fraction fl in mixed-phase stratiform clouds has been developed for use in large-scale models. An advantage of the scheme, compared to the interpolation in temperature that is typically ...

Abstract: The authors evaluate the performance of current regional models in an intercomparison project for a case of explosive secondary marine cyclogenesis occurring during the Canadian Atlantic Storms Project and the Genesis of ...
