Abstract: determination of the generalized CAPE (GCAPE) is suggested where instead of an adiabatic reversible vertical redistribution of air in a conditionally unstable atmosphere, irreversible processes with regard to the water ...

Abstract: his paper presents a method to detect and correct occurring biases in observational mean sea level pressure (MSLP) data, which was developed within the Mesoscale Alpine Climate Dataset [MESOCLIM; i.e., 3-hourly MSLP, ...

Abstract: onducting meteorological measurements, one is always confronted with a wide variety of different types of errors and with the decision of how to correct data for further use, if necessary. The selection of an adequate ...

Abstract: Observational errors may have a serious impact on objective analyses. Before conducting an objective analysis, that is, interpolating irregularly spaced observations to a uniform grid, the data should be checked thoroughly ...

Abstract: Tethered balloon soundings from two sites on the floor of a 1-km-diameter limestone sinkhole in the eastern Alps are compared with pseudovertical temperature ?soundings? from three lines of temperature dataloggers on the ...

Abstract: eteorological events affecting the evolution of temperature inversions or cold-air pools in the 1-km-diameter, high-altitude (~1300 m MSL) Grünloch basin in the eastern Alps are investigated using data from lines of ...

Abstract: Within the Vienna Enhanced Resolution Analysis (VERA) Climatology (VERACLIM) project, the complex influence of topographic structures on the spatial distribution of meteorological parameters has been investigated and ...

Abstract: A mesoscale data analysis method for meteorological station reports is presented. Irregularly distributed measured values are combined with measurement-independent a priori information about the modification of analysis ...

Abstract: Comparisons are made between the postsunrise breakup of temperature inversions in two similar closed basins in very different climate settings, one in the eastern Alps and one in the Rocky Mountains. The small, high-altitude, ...

Abstract: The international field campaign called the Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study (COPS) took place from June to August 2007 in southwestern Germany/eastern France. The overarching goal of COPS is to ...
