Abstract: he effects of variations in low-level ambient vertical shear and horizontal shear on the alongfront variability of narrow cold frontal rainbands (NCFRs) that propagate into neutral and slightly unstable environments are ...

Abstract: The mechanism responsible for the core-gap structure of precipitation along narrow cold-frontal rainbands (NCFRs) is investigated through analyses of idealized cloud-resolving simulations of cold fronts. The control ...

Abstract: ealistic mesoscale model simulations using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model and idealized dry simulations were used to study the mechanisms responsible for the formation and evolution of wide cold-frontal ...

Abstract: This article presents a detailed analysis of a meso-?-scale (?17 km wavelength) shear instability wave along a snowband using a series of dual-Doppler radar data. The wave developed along a low-level shear line that formed ...

Abstract: AbstractSea-effect snowstorms generated over the Sea of Japan produce consistent and often heavy snowfall throughout the winter season, impacting downstream communities in northern and central Japan. Here, we use observations ...
