RISQuantitative Precipitation Forecasting of Wintertime Storms in the Sierra Nevada: Sensitivity to the Microphysical Parameterization and Horizontal Resolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The skill of a mesoscale model in predicting orographic precipitation during high-impact precipitation events in the Sierra Nevada, and the sensitivity of that skill to the choice of the microphysical parameterization and ...
Challenges in Mesoscale Prediction of a Nocturnal Stratocumulus-Topped Marine Boundary Layer and Implications for Operational Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical study using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) was performed to assess the impact of initial and boundary conditions, the ...
The Role of Windward-Side Diabatic Heating in Sierra Nevada Spillover Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study focuses on the meso-α- and meso-?-scale manifestations of the latent-heat-induced reduction of windward-side blocking to two flood-producing precipitation events on the leeside of the Sierra Nevada. Two simulations ...
