RISTerrain-Trapped Airflows and Orographic Rainfall along the Coast of Northern California. Part I: Kinematic Characterization Using a Wind Profiling Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study develops an objective method of identifying terrain-trapped airflows (TTAs) along the coast of Northern California and documenting their impact on orographic rainfall. TTAs are defined as relatively ...
Orographic Precipitation Forcing along the Coast of Northern California during a Landfalling Winter Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study documents orographic precipitation forcing along the coastal mountains of Northern California during the landfall of a significant winter storm over the period 16?18 February 2004. The primary observing asset is ...
Terrain-Trapped Airflows and Orographic Rainfall along the Coast of Northern California. Part II: Horizontal and Vertical Structures Observed by a Scanning Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study documents the mean properties and variability of kinematic and precipitation structures associated with orographic precipitation along the coast of Northern California in the context of terrain-trapped ...
The Chilean Coastal Orographic Precipitation Experiment: Observing the Influence of Microphysical Rain Regimes on Coastal Orographic Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Chilean Coastal Orographic Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE) was conducted during the austral winter of 2015 (May?August) in the Nahuelbuta Mountains (peak elevation 1.3 km MSL) of southern Chile (38°S). CCOPE ...
