RISSea Ice Identification and Derivation of Its Velocity Field by X-Band Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study a 3D scanning X-band Doppler radar (XDR) was deployed near the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, Hokkaido, Japan, in November 2005 to simultaneously observe sea ice and snow clouds. Doppler radars are commonly used ...
The Characteristics and Evolution of Orographic Snow Clouds under Weak Cold Advection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 25 February 1999, on the western side of the central mountain range of Japan, orographic snow clouds had formed under conditions of weak cold advection due to a winter monsoon after a cyclonic storm. The data from Ka-band ...
Influences of Orography and Coastal Geometry on a Transverse-Mode Sea-Effect Snowstorm over Hokkaido Island, Japan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSea-effect snowstorms generated over the Sea of Japan produce consistent and often heavy snowfall throughout the winter season, impacting downstream communities in northern and central Japan. Here, we use observations ...
Observations of Quasi-Stationary and Shallow Orographic Snow Clouds: Spatial Distributions of Supercooled Liquid Water and Snow Particles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 25 February 1999, due to a winter monsoon after a cyclonic storm, orographic snow clouds formed under conditions of weak cold advection on the western side of the central mountain range of Japan. In this study, the ...
The Operational JMA Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An operational nonhydrostatic mesoscale model has been developed by the Numerical Prediction Division (NPD) of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) in partnership with the Meteorological Research Institute (MRI). The model ...
