RISOrographic Enhancement of Precipitation over Low Mountain Ranges. Part II: Simulations of Heavy Precipitation Events over Southwest Germany
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A diagnostic precipitation model that combines linear theory of hydrostatic flow with parameterized microphysics is applied to several stratiform heavy precipitation events over the low mountain ranges of southwestern ...
Orographic Enhancement of Precipitation over Low Mountain Ranges. Part I: Model Formulation and Idealized Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A diagnostic model for simulating orographic precipitation over low mountain ranges is presented. It is based on linear theory of hydrostatic flow over mountains and calculates condensation rates from vertical lifting at ...
The Regional Atmospheric Water Budget over Southwestern Germany under Different Synoptic Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study addresses the question of how complex topography in a low-mountain region affects the partitioning and the variability of the atmospheric water budget components (WBCs) as a function of synoptic-scale flow ...
Formation and Maintenance of a Polynya in the Weddell Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A dynamic?thermodynamic sea ice?mixed layer model for the Weddell Sea is complemented by a simple, diagnostic model to account for local sea ice?atmosphere interaction. To consider the atmospheric influence on the oceanic ...
Ocean Heat Flux in the Central Weddell Sea during Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seasonal sea ice, which plays a pivotal role in air?sea interaction in the Weddell Sea (a region of large deep-water formation with potential impact on climate), depends critically on heat flux from the deep ocean. During ...
Observations of Kinematics and Thermodynamic Structure Surrounding a Convective Storm Cluster over a Low Mountain Range
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of a convective storm cluster in the northern Black Forest in southwest Germany have revealed the development of a warm and dry downdraft under its anvil cloud that had an inhibiting effect on the subsequent ...
RESEARCH CAMPAIGN: The Convective and Orographically Induced Precipitation Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The international field campaign called the Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study (COPS) took place from June to August 2007 in southwestern Germany/eastern France. The overarching goal of COPS is to ...
MiKlip: A National Research Project on Decadal Climate Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ittelfristige Klimaprognose (MiKlip), an 8-yr German national research project on decadal climate prediction, is organized around a global prediction system comprising the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM) ...
The Convective Storm Initiation Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) is an international project to understand precisely where, when, and how convective clouds form and develop into showers in the mainly maritime environment of southern England. ...
