Abstract: In this paper, the authors investigate the momentum budget of a squall line with trailing stratiform precipitation by examining how the momentum balance varies with respect to the storm's internal structure. In particular, ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulations of a midlatitude squall line with a high-resolution non-hydrostatic model suggest that the multicellular structure of the storm may be associated with gravity waves generated ...

Abstract: This comment addresses two conclusions arising from a modeling study of Chin: that the contribution of mesoscale stratiform areas to large-scale heat and moisture budgets at midlatitudes is small compared to that associated ...

Abstract: Although there have been many observational and modeling studies of tropical cyclones, understanding of their intensity and structural changes after landfall is rather limited. In this study, several 84-h cloud-resolving ...

Abstract: n this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting model, version 3.2, with the finest grid size of 1 km is used to explicitly simulate Typhoon Morakot (2009), which dumped rainfall of more than 2600 mm in 3 days on Taiwan. ...

Abstract: lthough there have been many observational and modeling studies of tropical cyclones (TCs), the understanding of TCs? budgets of vapor and condensate and the changes of budgets after TCs? landfall is still quite limited. ...

Abstract: This paper identifies mechanisms that led to the observed rapid evolution of a landfalling weak cold front along the steep mountainous northern California coast on 1 December 1995. This event was simulated down to 3-km ...

Abstract: This study presents precipitation verification, in the Taiwan area, for a real-time Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Fifth-Generation Mesoscale Model (MM5) system during the 1998 Mei-yu ...

Abstract: A modified definition of precipitation efficiency (PE) is proposed based on either cloud microphysics precipitation efficiency (CMPE) or water cycling processes including water vapor and hydrometeor species [large-scale ...

Abstract: Precipitation efficiency is estimated based on vertically integrated budgets of water vapor and clouds using hourly data from both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cloud-resolving simulations. The 2D ...
