Abstract: his study examines how variations in relatively simple terrain geometries influence orographic precipitation and its spatial patterns of sensitivity to small changes in upstream conditions. An idealized three-dimensional ...

Abstract: his study explores the mesoscale processes that led to the development of two prefrontal precipitation events in the Australian Alps on 29?30 October 2010. The synoptic setting was characterized by the passage of an ...

Abstract: his study examines how variations to the nondimensional mountain height ? and the horizontal aspect ratio ? of a straight ridge and a concave ridge influence orographic precipitation. An idealized three-dimensional model ...

Abstract: sharp reduction in precipitation was observed on the island of Dominica in the Caribbean during a 2011 field campaign when the trade winds weakened and convection transitioned from mechanically to thermally driven. The ...

Abstract: bservations from the Dominica Experiment (DOMEX) field campaign clearly show aerosols having an impact on cloud microphysical properties in thermally driven orographic clouds. It is hypothesized that when convection is ...

Abstract: Historical records of aviation turbulence encounters above Greenland are examined for the period from 2000 to 2006. These data identify an important flow regime that contributes to the occurrence of aircraft turbulence ...

Abstract: he Deep Propagating Gravity Wave Experiment (DEEPWAVE) was designed to quantify gravity wave (GW) dynamics and effects from orographic and other sources to regions of dissipation at high altitudes. The core DEEPWAVE field ...
