A Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Model Designed to Simulate Scale Interaction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional nonhydrostatic mesoscale model is presented that is designed to optimally represent the scale-interaction process among inertially balanced and unbalanced modes occurring within convective weather ...
Numerical Study of the 10 January 1998 Lake-Effect Bands Observed during Lake-ICE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of idealized cloud resolving simulations of the evolution of moist roll convection observed as part of the Lake-Induced Convection Experiment (Lake-ICE) that took place during ...
The Spectral Ice Habit Prediction System (SHIPS). Part II: Simulation of Nucleation and Depositional Growth of Polycrystals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper proposes a framework to predict polycrystals along with hexagonal monocrystals in a cloud-resolving model and discusses validity of the scheme and physical processes important for habit distribution by implementing ...
An Iterative Time Integration Scheme Designed to Preserve a Low-Frequency Wave
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-step iterative time integration scheme is formulated, by which the amplitude of a low-frequency wave in a primitive equations model is preserved fairly well for a period of short-range weather prediction while the ...
The Spectral Ice Habit Prediction System (SHIPS). Part III: Description of the Ice Particle Model and the Habit-Dependent Aggregation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he purpose of this paper is to describe a numerical scheme of the Spectral Ice Habit Prediction System (SHIPS) that simulates the dependency of aggregation process explicitly on crystal habit and size in cloud-resolving ...
The Spectral Ice Habit Prediction System (SHIPS). Part IV: Box Model Simulations of the Habit-Dependent Aggregation Process
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he purpose of this paper is to assess the prediction of particle properties of aggregates and particle size distributions with the Spectral Ice Habit Prediction System (SHIPS) and to investigate the effects of crystal ...
Low-Level Flows over the GATE Area during Summer 1972
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An assimilation of satellite low-cloud vector data and conventional meteorological data is presented in this paper. The domain of the study is the GATE A-scale area. The period is the summer months of 1972. Objective ...
An Intense, Quasi-Steady Thunderstorm over Mountainous Terrain. Part IV: Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical simulation of an intense, quasi-steady left-moving thunderstorm observed over mountainous terrain is presented. The observational analysis of the evolution of convection leading to this storm ...
The Use of lce-Liquid Water Potential Temperature as a Thermodynamic Variable In Deep Atmospheric Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous studies have shown liquid water potential temperature to be an inappropriate choice for a thermodynamic variable in a deep cumulus convection model. In this study, an alternate form of this variable called ice-liquid ...
Numerical Study of an Observed Orogenic Mesoscale Convective System. Part 1: Simulated Genesis and Comparison with Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interaction of topographically induced thermally and mechanically driven diurnal flow regimes in the lee of the Rockies is shown to lead to the growth of a mesoscale convective system (MCS). An organic MCS observed ...
