RISThe Generation and Propagation of a Nocturnal Squall Line. Part I: Observations and Implications for Mesoscale Predictability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The initiation and forcing of a squall line on 26?27 May 1985 near Wichita, Kansas is examined. The squall line is secondary convection in the sense that it is preceded in the diurnal cycle by other mesoscale convective ...
The Generation and Propagation of a Nocturnal Squall Line. Part II: Numerical Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mechanisms behind the convective regeneration that occurred at midnight on 26 May 1985 in the Kansas PRE-STORM network (described in Part I) are examined with a numerical cloud model. Three mechanisms that could have ...
Equilibrium States Simulated by Cloud-Resolving Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recently, several cloud-resolving models (CRMs) were used to study the tropical water and energy cycles and their role in the climate system. They are typically run for several weeks until modeled temperature and water ...
The Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment (MCTEX): Overview and Some Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A description is given of the Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment held over the Tiwi Islands (12°S, 130°E) during the period November?December 1995. The unique nature of regularly occurring storms over these islands ...
THORPEX Research and the Science of Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Observing System Research and Predictability Experiment (THORPEX) was a 10-yr, international research program organized by the World Meteorological Organization?s World Weather Research Program. THORPEX was motivated ...
