Occluded Fronts and the Occlusion Process: A Fresh Look at Conventional Wisdom
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ally, the formation of an occluded front during the occlusion process in extratropical cyclones has been viewed as the catch-up of a faster-moving cold front to a slower-moving warm front separating the warm-sector air ...
Variability of precipitation along cold fronts in idealized baroclinic waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: recipitation patterns along cold fronts can exhibit a variety of morphologies including narrow cold-frontal rainbands and core-and-gap structures. A three-dimensional primitive equation model is used to investigate along-front ...
Precipitation Banding in Idealized Baroclinic Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oist idealized baroclinic-wave simulations show the development of precipitation bands from a zonally uniform initial midlatitude jet. For a frictionless lower boundary, and with no latent-heat release or surface heat and ...
Early Evolution of the 23–26 September 2012 U.K. Floods: Tropical Storm Nadine and Diabatic Heating due to Cloud Microphysics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ajor river flooding affected the United Kingdom in late September 2012 as a slow-moving extratropical cyclone brought over 100 mm of rain to a large swath of northern England and north Wales, with local accumulations ...
A Five-Year Radar-Based Climatology of Tropopause Folds and Deep Convection over Wales, United Kingdom
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: five-year (2006?10) radar-based climatology of tropopause folds and convective storms was constructed for Wales, United Kingdom, to determine how deep, moist convection is modulated by tropopause folds. Based on the ...
Invigoration and Capping of a Convective Rainband ahead of a Potential Vorticity Anomaly
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eep convection frequently occurs on the eastern side of upper-level troughs, or potential vorticity (PV) anomalies. This is consistent with uplift ahead of a cyclonic PV anomaly, and consequent reduction in static stability ...
A Global Climatology of Tropospheric Inertial Instability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA climatology of tropospheric inertial instability is constructed using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts interim reanalysis (ERA-Interim) at 250, 500, and 850 hPa. For each level, two criteria ...
The Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comprehensive dataset describing tropical cloud systems and their environmental setting and impacts has been collected during the Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE) and Aerosol and Chemical ...
