Abstract: It is suggested that the constructive interference of a wave packet of stable normal modes could constitute a mechanism for local fronto- and cyclogenetic development. The potential efficacy of this mechanism is illustrated ...

Abstract: A high-resolution atmospheric ensemble forecasting system is coupled to a hydrologic model to investigate probabilistic runoff forecasts for the alpine tributaries of the Rhine River basin (34 550 km2). Five-day ensemble ...

Abstract: The role of land surface?related processes and feedbacks during the record-breaking 2003 European summer heat wave is explored with a regional climate model. All simulations are driven by lateral boundary conditions and ...

Abstract: Recent developments in numerical modeling and computer technology will soon allow for limited-areaproduction-type numerical weather prediction at a resolution of 1-2 km. This advance opens exciting prospects for the ...
