Characteristics of the Raindrop Size Distribution and Drop Shape Relation in Typhoon Systems in the Western Pacific from the 2D Video Disdrometer and NCU C-Band Polarimetric Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The drop size distribution (DSD) and drop shape relation (DSR) characteristics that were observed by a ground-based 2D video disdrometer and retrieved from a C-band polarimetric radar in the typhoon systems during landfall ...
Characteristics of a Subtropical Squall Line Determined from TAMEX Dual-Doppler Data. Part I: Kinematic Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, structural features of a subtropical squall line that occurred on 17 May 1987 over the Taiwan Straits, were investigated using dual-Doppler data collected during the Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX). ...
Characteristics of a Subtropical Squall Line Determined from TAMEX Dual-Doppler Data. Part II: Dynamic and Thermodynamic Structures and Momentum Budgets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A thermodynamic retrieval method was used to study the dynamical and thermodynamical structure of a subtropical squall line, which occurred on 17 May 1987 over the Taiwan Straits. Three-dimensional wind fields were derived ...
Orographic Effects on a Squall Line System over Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A north?south-oriented, multicellular squall line during the Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment?s (TAMEX) intensive observation period 2 was studied, using dual-Doppler radar data, as it moved over the island of Taiwan. Over ...
The Retrieval of Asymmetric Tropical Cyclone Structures Using Doppler Radar Simulations and Observations with the Extended GBVTD Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ground-based velocity track display (GBVTD) technique is extended to two Doppler radars to retrieve the structure of a tropical cyclone?s (TC?s) circulation. With this extension, it is found that the asymmetric part ...
The Intensification of the Low-Level Jet during the Development of Mesoscale Convective Systems on a Mei-Yu Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the period of 21?25 June 1991, a mei-yu front, observed by the post?Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment, produced heavy precipitation along the western side of the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan. Several oceanic ...
