RISTwo-and Three-Dimensional Modelling Studies of the Big Thompson Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Big Thompson storm occurred on 31 July?1 August 1976 over Big Thompson Canyon, Colorado, when a secondary cold frontal surge was accelerated and reached the foothills of the Front Range. Two- and three-dimensional moist ...
Numerical Study of OrograPhic-Convective Precipitation over the Eastern Arabian Sea and the Ghat Mountains during the Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: When the western coast of India lies in the path of the low-level west-southwest wind crossing the Arabian Sea during the summer monsoon season, deep convection frequently develops over the ocean off the coast. In such a ...
Three-Dimensional Modeling Study of Squall Lines Observed in COPT81
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two long-lived tropical squall lines (TSLs) observed during the COPT81 experiment are studied numerically by using a three-dimensional compressible model with warm-rain cloud physics. An initial impulse of potential ...
A Numerical Study of the Mesoscale Convective System Observed over Okinawa Island in June 1987
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mesoscale convective system (MCS) observed over Okinawa Island in Japan during the Baiu season is studied numerically by using a two-dimensional compressible model with warm-rain cloud physics. The initial formation of ...
Morning Precipitation Peak over the Strait of Malacca under a Calm Condition
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the formation mechanism of morning maximum in the diurnal cycle of precipitation, at the Strait of Malacca under a calm condition, with a nonhydrostatic mesoscale numerical model and ship-based ...
Numerical Simulations of the Formation of Melting-Layer Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A number of previously published observational studies have reported the common occurrence of cloudy layers at around 5-km elevation in the tropics. There are two candidate processes that are able to explain the occurrence ...
Midtropospheric Anticyclonic Vortex Street Associated with a Cloud Band near a Cold Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The characteristics and formation mechanism of an anticyclonic vortex street of meso-? scale, which appeared near a cold front around the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, on 11 April 1995, were examined by an analysis of observational ...
Structure and Formation Mechanism on the 24 May 2000 Supercell-Like Storm Developing in a Moist Environment over the Kanto Plain, Japan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structure and formation mechanism of a supercell-like storm in a moist environment below a melting layer were investigated using dual-Doppler radar analysis and a cloud-resolving storm simulator (CReSS). The supercell-like ...
Performance of Long-Term Integrations of the Japan Meteorological Agency Nonhydrostatic Model Using the Spectral Boundary Coupling Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spectral boundary coupling (SBC) method, which is an approach used to couple a limited-area model with a large-scale model, was introduced into a nonhydrostatic model. To investigate whether the SBC method works well ...
Mismo Field Experiment in the Equatorial Indian Ocean*
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Mirai Indian Ocean cruise for the Study of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO)-convection Onset (MISMO) was a field experiment that took place in the central equatorial Indian Ocean during October?December 2006, using ...
