RISEvolution and Structure of the Mesoscale Convection and Its Environment: A Case Study during the Early Onset of the Southeast Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution and structure of mesoscale convection in the South China Sea (SCS) region are documented for the first time mainly using the dual-Doppler radar dataset collected during the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment ...
Characteristics of Near-Surface Winds and Thermal Profiles on the Windward Slopes of the Island of Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The near-surface winds and thermal profiles on the windward side of the island of Hawaii are studied using the dataset from the Hawaiian Rainband Project (HaRP), with special attention to the early morning and late afternoon ...
The Development and Structure of an Oceanic Squall-Line System during the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A primary goal of the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX), a major field campaign of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), is to define the initiation, structure, evolution, and dynamics of precipitation ...
A Case Study of Trade-Wind Rainbands and Their Interaction with the Island-Induced Airflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case study of trade-wind rainbands observed on 22 August 1990 during the Hawaiian Rainband Project is presented. It shows that the interaction between the morning rainbands and the island-induced airflow is important for ...
Diurnal Variation of Surface Thermodynamic Fields on the Island of Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal variation in the surface thermodynamic fields over the island of Hawaii is presented for the first time. The diurnal ranges in temperature and dewpoint vary considerably over the island. In addition to the ...
The Effects of Precipitation on the Surface Temperature and Airflow over the Island of Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of precipitation on the surface temperature and airflow over the island of Hawaii, which are not considered in previous studies, are presented. It is found that clouds and rains can modify the surface thermal ...
Evolution, Structure, Cloud Microphysical, and Surface Rainfall Processes of Monsoon Convection during the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional cloud-resolving simulation is combined with dual-Doppler and polarimetric radar analysis to study the evolution, dynamic structure, cloud microphysics, and rainfall processes of monsoon convection observed ...
The Effects of the Island of Hawaii on Offshore Rainband Evolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal cycle of airflow on the island of Hawaii and the structure of the low-level flow separation line between the island-induced offshore flow and incoming trade winds are reasonably well understood. This study ...
An Updated TRMM Composite Climatology of Tropical Rainfall and Its Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n updated 15-yr Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) composite climatology (TCC) is presented and evaluated. This climatology is based on a combination of individual rainfall estimates made with data from the primary ...
Application of the NCEP Regional Spectral Model to Improve Mesoscale Weather Forecasts in Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The operational implementation of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Regional Spectral Model (RSM) in Hawaii is the first application of a mesoscale model to improve weather forecasts in the Pacific ...
