The Simulated Response of Diurnal Mountain Winds to Regionally Enhanced Warming Caused by the Snow Albedo Feedback
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe snow albedo feedback (SAF) is an important climate feature of mountain regions with transient snow cover. In these regions, where patterns of snow cover are largely determined by the underlying terrain, the SAF ...
Characterization of the Simulated Regional Snow Albedo Feedback Using a Regional Climate Model over Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: idlatitude mountain regions are particularly sensitive to climate change because of an active snow albedo feedback (SAF). Here, the SAF is characterized and quantified over the complex terrain of the Colorado Headwaters ...
The Simulated Impact of the Snow Albedo Feedback on the Large-Scale Mountain–Plain Circulation East of the Colorado Rocky Mountains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Front Range mountain?plain circulation (FRMC) is a large-scale diurnally driven wind system that occurs east of the Colorado Rocky Mountains in the United States and affects the weather both in the Rocky Mountains ...
Applying a Physically Based Blowing Snow Diagnostic Parameterization to Improve Wintertime Visibility Forecasts in the WRF Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Thunderstorm Characteristics during the Ontario Winter Lake-Effect Systems Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Ontario Winter Lake-Effect Systems (OWLeS) field campaign during the winter season of 2013/14 provided unprecedented data with regard to the structure and behavior of long-lake-axis-parallel (LLAP) lake-effect ...
The Character and Causes of Elevation-Dependent Warming in High-Resolution Simulations of Rocky Mountain Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe character and causes of elevation-dependent warming (EDW) of surface temperatures are examined in a suite of high-resolution ( km) regional climate model (RCM) simulations of climate change over the Rocky ...
Lake-Effect Mode and Precipitation Enhancement over the Tug Hill Plateau during OWLeS IOP2b
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: mproved understanding of the influence of orography on lake-effect storms is crucial for weather forecasting in many lake-effect regions. The Tug Hill Plateau of northern New York (hereafter Tug Hill), rising 500 m above ...
