Abstract: The impact of mean-flow variability on finite-amplitude trapped mountain lee waves is investigated by conducting two-dimensional mountain wave simulations for a set of idealized, time-dependent background flows. The lee-wave ...

Abstract: The generation of nonstationary trapped mountain lee waves through nonlinear wave dynamics without any concomitant change in the background flow is investigated by conducting two-dimensional mountain wave simulations. These ...

Abstract: Severe downslope windstorms are a mesoscale, primarily wintertime, phenomenon that affect regions in the lee of large mountain ranges. The resolution of current weather prediction models is too coarse to explicitly predict ...

Abstract: The accuracy of three anelastic systems (Ogura and Phillips; Wilhelmson and Ogura; Lipps and Hemler) and the pseudo-incompressible system is investigated for small-amplitude and finite-amplitude disturbances. Based on ...

Abstract: Ground-based measurements of particle size and fall speed distributions using a Particle Size and Velocity (PARSIVEL) disdrometer are compared among samples obtained in mixed precipitation (rain and wet snow) and rain in ...

Abstract: Through the integrated analysis of remote sensing and in situ data taken along the Front Range of Colorado, this study describes the interactions that occurred between a leeside arctic front and topographically modulated ...
