Abstract: The Arakawa-Shubert cumulus parameterization scheme is applied in a semi-prognostic case study of a monsoon depression when it was forming over the Bay of Bengal. The cloud-work function quasi-equilibrium is found to hold ...

Abstract: This paper examines some observational aspects of the evolution of energy exchanges and differential heating during the GARP Monsoon Experiment MONEX. The main findings are that: 1) A large increase in the kinetic energy ...

Abstract: The statistical macrostructure of the wind field at 500 mb in the Indian region has been studied for the purpose of deriving useful information regarding scan length, scan area and weighting function for Cressman's method ...

Abstract: In this paper we examine the evolution of the low-level flow over the Arabian Sea during the onset of the summer monsoon. A detailed examination of the onset vortex that forms over the Arabian Sea just prior to the ...

Abstract: Modeling of convective rainfall rates is a central problem in tropical meteorology. Toward numerical weather prediction efforts the semi-prognostic approach (i.e., a one time-step prediction of rainfall rates) provides a ...
