Mechanism of Orographic Precipitation around the Meghalaya Plateau Associated with Intraseasonal Oscillation and the Diurnal Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: esoscale processes that cause tremendous amounts of precipitation around the Meghalaya Plateau, northeast India, were investigated using a regional atmospheric model, with a particular focus on the possible role of an ...
Diurnal Cycle of Convective Instability around the Central Mountains in Japan during the Warm Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Convective rainfall often shows a clear diurnal cycle. The nighttime peak of convective activity prevails in various regions near the world's mountains. The influence of the water vapor and convective instability upon ...
How Does the Tibetan Plateau Affect the Transition of Indian Monsoon Rainfall?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The roles of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) upon the transition of precipitation in the south Asian summer monsoon are investigated using a simplified regional climate model. Before the onset of the south Asian monsoon, descending ...
Future Changes in Monthly Extreme Precipitation in Japan Using Large-Ensemble Regional Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study investigated future changes in monthly extreme precipitation in Japan during summer (June?August). The uncertainties in estimating extreme monthly precipitation were analyzed using large-ensemble regional ...
A Two-Dimensional Numerical Study on Diurnal Cycle of Mountain Lee Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simple numerical experiments using a two-dimensional model were conducted to investigate the diurnal variation of water vapor in the lee of a mountain range, which strongly affects nighttime precipitation. In the daytime, ...
Effects of Synoptic-Scale Control on Long-Term Declining Trends of Summer Fog Frequency over the Pacific Side of Hokkaido Island
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, long-term visibility data for the Pacific Ocean side of Hokkaido Island, northeast Japan, are investigated to clarify the relationship between interannual variation in summer fog frequency (FF) and large-scale ...
Recent Intensification of the Western Pacific Subtropical High Associated with the East Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he summer western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) has intensified during the past three decades. However, the underlying mechanism is not yet well understood. Here, it is shown that baiu rainband activity in midsummer, ...
Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation in the Tropics Simulated in a Global Cloud-Resolving Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study analyzes the diurnal cycle of precipitation simulated in a global cloud-resolving model (GCRM) named the Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM). A 30-day integration of NICAM successfully simulates ...
Diurnal Variation of Convective Activity and Precipitable Water around Ulaanbaator, Mongolia, and the Impact of Soil Moisture on Convective Activity during Nighttime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal variations of convective activity and precipitable water were investigated using a C-band airport radar and GPS receivers around Ulaanbaator (UB), Mongolia; this location was considered as an example of an arid ...
An Oceanic Impact of the Kuroshio on Surface Air Temperature on the Pacific Coast of Japan in Summer: Regional H2O Greenhouse Gas Effect
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study used a 4-km resolution regional climate model to examine the sensitivity of surface air temperature on the Pacific coast of Japan to sea surface temperature (SST) south of the Pacific coast of Japan during summer. ...
