RISSummer Precipitation Events over the Western Slope of the Subtropical Andes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ummertime [December?February (DJF)] precipitation over the western slopes of the subtropical Andes (32°?36°S) accounts for less than 10% of the annual accumulation, but it mostly occurs as rain and may trigger landslides ...
Climatology of Winter Orographic Precipitation over the Subtropical Central Andes and Associated Synoptic and Regional Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: inter orographic precipitation over the Andes between 30° and 37°S is examined using precipitation gauges in the mountains and adjacent lowlands. Because of the limited number of precipitation gauges, this paper focuses ...
Strong Cross-Barrier Flow under Stable Conditions Producing Intense Winter Orographic Precipitation: A Case Study over the Subtropical Central Andes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The most intense orographic precipitation event over the subtropical central Andes (36°?30°S) during winter 2005 was examined using observational data and a regional model simulation. The Eta-Programa Regional de Meteorología ...
Upstream Orographic Enhancement of a Narrow Cold-Frontal Rainband Approaching the Andes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pstream orographic enhancement of the rainfall from an extratropical cyclone approaching the Andes from the Pacific is investigated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model and the Tropical Rainfall Measuring ...
