RISCharacteristics of Large-Scale Orographic Precipitation in a Linear Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations of orographic precipitation over the low mountain ranges of southwestern Germany and eastern France with two different physics-based linear precipitation models are presented. Both models are based on 3D airflow ...
Orographic 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 ...
On the Performance of a Low-Cost K-Band Doppler Radar for Quantitative Rain Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper deals with the ability of a vertically pointing, FM?CW Doppler radar to measure quantitatively raindrop size distributions and rainfall intensity. The wavelength of the radar is 12.5 mm (K band). To improve ...
A Long-Term Overshooting Convective Cloud-Top Detection Database over Australia Derived from MTSAT Japanese Advanced Meteorological Imager Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTA 10-yr geostationary (GEO) overshooting cloud-top (OT) detection database using Multifunction Transport Satellite (MTSAT) Japanese Advanced Meteorological Imager (JAMI) observations has been developed over the ...
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. ...
