A Severe Frontal Rainband. Part IV: Precipitation Mechanisms, Diabatic Processes and Rainband Maintenance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional kinematic cloud model has been used to study the precipitation processes within an intense, narrow cold-frontal rainband (NCFR). A triple-Doppler radar analysis has provided the necessary kinematic flow ...
A Diagnostic Modeling Study of the Stratiform Region Associated with a Tropical Squall Line
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind and thermodynamic data analyzed in the startiform region of a tropical squall line have been combined with a kinematic, three-dimensional cloud model to study the precipitation processes in this region. The flux of ...
Morphology, Intensity, and Rainfall Production of MJO Convection: Observations from DYNAMO Shipborne Radar and TRMM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses Dynamics of the Madden?Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) shipborne [Research Vessel (R/V) Roger Revelle] radar and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) datasets to investigate ...
Using CASA IP1 to Diagnose Kinematic and Microphysical Interactions in a Convective Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) Integrated Project I (IP1) network of polarimetric X-band radars are used to observe a convective storm. A fuzzy logic hydrometeor identification algorithm ...
A Theory-Based Hydrometeor Identification Algorithm for X-Band Polarimetric Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although much work has been done at S band to automatically identify hydrometeors by using polarimetric radar, several challenges are presented when adapting such algorithms to X band. At X band, attenuation and non-Rayleigh ...
The Mesoscale and Microscale Structure and Organization of Clouds and Precipitation in Midlatitude Cyclones. VIII: A Model for the “Seeder-Feeder” Process in Warm-Frontal Rainbands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous field studies have indicated that warm-frontal rainbands form when ice particles from a ?seeder? cloud grow as they fall through a lower-level ?feeder? cloud. In this paper we present results from a parameterized ...
Convective Variability Associated with the Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation in the South China Sea Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study investigates the convective cloud population, precipitation microphysics, and lightning activity associated with the boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) over the South China Sea (SCS) and ...
Convective Characteristics of the Madden–Julian Oscillation over the Central Indian Ocean Observed by Shipborne Radar during DYNAMO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the convective population and environmental conditions during three MJO events over the central Indian Ocean in late 2011 using measurements collected from the Research Vessel (R/V) Roger Revelle ...
Vertical Motion Structure in Maritime continent mesoscale Convective Systems: Results from a 50-MHz Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind profiler data wore used to determine the vertical motion structure in four tropical mcsoscale convective systems (MCSs), which occurred during the Down Under Doppler and Electricity Experiment (DUNDEE) near Darwin. ...
The Coupling between Convective Variability and Large-Scale Flow Patterns Observed during PISTON 2018–19
