Abstract: Frontal precipitation systems are simulated with a 2D cloud model including ice-phase microphysics. Despite the use of idealized frontogenetic forcing in the simulations, some observed characteristics of frontal zones and ...

Abstract: The field phase of the Canadian Atlantic Storms Program (CASP) was conducted from 15 January to 15 March 1986. The principal objective of the meteorological component of the program was to begin the process of improving ...

Abstract: The evolution of raindrop spectra by collisional breakup is examined analytically and modelled in box and 1-dimensional shaft models, using the parameterization of Low and List. The significant analytical result shows that ...

Abstract: On 22 February 1986 Nova Scotia experienced heavy precipitation in the form of snow, freezing precipitation, and rain from a storm having a central pressure no lower than 99.3 kPa. Using observations obtained during the ...

Abstract: The present study discusses the meso- and microscale structures of Precipitation regions within a midlatitude winter storm over the North Atlantic, observed during the Experiment on Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones over the ...

Abstract: The Mackenzie Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Study (MAGS) is one of the continental-scale experiments approved specifically by GEWEX to better understand and model water and energy cycling at high latitudes. ...

Abstract: Atmospheric temperature profiles and integrated water vapor and liquid are retrieved from ground-based microwave radiometric measurements using both nonlinear optimal estimation (NLOE) and statistical inversion (SI) methods. ...

Abstract: This study represents the first attempt at developing a comprehensive climatology of atmospheric and surface water and energy budgets for the Mackenzie River basin (MRB). Different observed, remotely sensed, (re)analyzed, ...

Abstract: A severe ice storm affected the east coast of Canada during the Canadian Atlantic Storms Project II. A hierarchy of cloud-resolving model simulations of this storm was performed with the objective of enhancing understanding ...

Abstract: Precipitation and environmental conditions occurring during accretion in Canadian east coast winter storms are described and investigated. Accretion is generally associated with snow, freezing rain, and ice pellets within ...
