Katabatic Flows and Their Relation to the Formation of Convective Clouds—Idealized Case Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he formation of a convective cloud system as a result of a katabatic-induced surface cold front at the eastern Andes Mountains of South America was investigated in a numerical model study. The occurrence of this cloud ...
A New Class of Quality Controls for Micrometeorological Data in Complex Tropical Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uality control is a particularly demanding problem for micrometeorological studies in complex environments. With the transition to electronic sensing and storage of climate data in high temporal resolution, traditional ...
Formation of Convective Clouds at the Foothills of the Tropical Eastern Andes (South Ecuador)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the seasonal and diurnal dynamics of convective cloud entities?small cells and a mesoscale convective complex?like pattern?in the foothills of the tropical eastern Andes. The investigation is based on ...
Cross-Scale Precipitation Variability in a Semiarid Catchment Area on the Western Slopes of the Central Andes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSpatiotemporal precipitation patterns were investigated on the western slopes of the central Andes Mountains by applying EOF and cluster analysis as well as the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. In the ...
RADARNET-SUR FIRST WEATHER RADAR NETWORK IN TROPICAL HIGH MOUNTAINS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eather radar networks are indispensable tools for forecasting and disaster prevention in industrialized countries. However, they are far less common in countries of South America, which frequently suffer from an underdeveloped ...
