A Confirmatory Snowfall Enhancement Project in the Snowy Mountains of Australia. Part II: Primary and Associated Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Snowy Precipitation Enhancement Research Project (SPERP) was undertaken in winters from May 2005 to June 2009 in the Snowy Mountains region of southeastern Australia. Part I of this paper describes the design and ...
Performance of Satellite Rainfall Estimation Algorithms during TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over 50 satellite rainfall algorithms were evaluated for a 5° square region in the equatorial western Pacific Ocean during TOGA COARE, November 1992?February 1993. These satellite algorithms used GMS VIS/IR, AVHRR, and ...
On the Evaluation of the Collection Kernel for the Coalescence of Water Droplets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two anomalies are described which arise in the kernel for stochastic droplet collection when it is specified by the formula of Scott and Chen for the linear collision efficiency y(R,r) and by the formula of Wobus et al. ...
Characteristics of Wintertime Daily Precipitation over the Australian Snowy Mountains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe relationship between orographic precipitation, low-level thermodynamic stability, and the synoptic meteorology is explored for the Snowy Mountains of southeast Australia. A 21-yr dataset (May?October, 1995?2015) ...
On a Natural Environment for Glaciogenic Cloud Seeding
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ?climatology? of supercooled cloud tops is presented for southeastern Australia and the western United States, where historic glaciogenic cloud-seeding trials have been located. The climatology finds that supercooled cloud ...
On the Decline of Wintertime Precipitation in the Snowy Mountains of Southeastern Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ata from a precipitation gauge network in the Snowy Mountains of southeastern Australia have been analyzed to produce a new climatology of wintertime precipitation and airmass history for the region in the period 1990?2009. ...
An Evaluation of WRF Simulations of Clouds over the Southern Ocean with A-Train Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he representation of the marine boundary layer (BL) clouds remains a formidable challenge for state-of-the-art simulations. A recent study by Bodas-Salcedo et al. using the Met Office Unified Model highlights that the ...
Regional Variation in the Wet Season of Northern Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ariability in the wet season of tropical northern Australia is examined over its main months, November?March, with a focus on zonal differences between the western, central, and eastern domains, which encompass the northern ...
A Three-Year Climatology of Cloud-Top Phase over the Southern Ocean and North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Level 2 observations from the Terra satellite are used to create a 3-yr climatology of cloud-top phase over a section of the Southern Ocean (south of Australia) and the ...
