RISThe Role of Upstream Midtropospheric Circulations in the Sierra Nevada Enabling Leeside (Spillover) Precipitation. Part I: A Synoptic-Scale Analysis of Spillover Precipitation and Flooding in a Leeside Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pacific-originating storms that produce heavy leeside liquid precipitation in the Sierra Nevada are rare compared to those that generate windward slope rainfall. However, these leeside precipitation events have a profound ...
The Role of Upstream Midtropospheric Circulations in the Sierra Nevada Enabling Leeside (Spillover) Precipitation. Part II: A Secondary Atmospheric River Accompanying a Midlevel Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The synoptic structure of two case studies of heavy ?spillover? or leeside precipitation?1?2 January 1997 and 30?31 December 2005?that resulted in Truckee River flooding are analyzed over the North Pacific beginning ...
