Abstract: The Big Thompson storm occurred on 31 July?1 August 1976 over Big Thompson Canyon, Colorado, when a secondary cold frontal surge was accelerated and reached the foothills of the Front Range. Two- and three-dimensional moist ...

Abstract: When the western coast of India lies in the path of the low-level west-southwest wind crossing the Arabian Sea during the summer monsoon season, deep convection frequently develops over the ocean off the coast. In such a ...

Abstract: An exceptionally heavy rainstorm hit the coastal area of the western part of Japan on 23 July 1983. The 6-h rainfall accumulation exceeded 300 mm locally. At its peak period, the hourly precipitation rate was as high as ...

Abstract: A cold front which passed through the dense network of the SESAME-AVE (Severe Environmental Storms and Mesoscale Experiment?Atmospheric Variability Experiment) on 25?26 April 1979 was investigated. Rawinsonde data collected ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of simulations for a case of heavy precipitation that occurred on 23 July 1982 over western Japan. Special emphasis is placed on synoptic- and subsynoptic-scale processes that led to heavy ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional, anelastic cloud model was used in attempts to numerically replicate the observed structure of a midlatitude squall line. Initial conditions were adapted from observations of the 22 May 1976 Oklahoma line. ...

Abstract: A strictly two-dimensional cloud model was used to gauge the effect of vertical wind shear on the mature phase behavior of model-simulated multicellular storms, extending the previous work of the authors. We specifically ...

Abstract: FGGE revel III-b data provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and the outgoing longwave radiation data measured by satellites are used to investigate observationally relationships between deep ...

Abstract: On 22 May 1976 a well-organized squall line with a width of more than 100 km passed through the mesonetwork of the National Severe Storms Laboratory in central Oklahoma. This squall line was evolving from its mature stage ...

Abstract: The level 3 turbulence closure model proposed by Mellor and Yamada (1974) is modified 1) to incorporate the formulations for the turbulence third-order moments and pressure terms proposed by Zeman and Lumley (1976) and 2) ...
