Surface Fluctuations Associated with Tropical Cyclone Rainbands Observed near Taiwan during 2000–08
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ith radar measurements and temporally high-resolution surface observations, this study investigates surface fluctuations associated with tropical cyclone rainbands (TCRs) observed in the vicinity of Taiwan during 2000?08. ...
Formation and Maintenance of a Long-Lived Taiwan Rainband during 1–3 March 2003
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: aiwan rainbands (TRs), defined here as convective lines, which form off the mountainous eastern coast of Taiwan under weakly synoptically forced weather conditions, are a well-known mesoscale phenomenon, but their formative ...
Distribution and Mechanisms of Orographic Precipitation Associated with Typhoon Morakot (2009)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing a combination of Doppler radar observations and rain gauge data, this study documents detailed aspects of the orographic precipitation associated with Typhoon Morakot (2009). Rainfall distribution over underlying ...
Structural and Surface Features of Arc-Shaped Radar Echoes along an Outer Tropical Cyclone Rainband
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses ground-based dual-Doppler radar and surface observations to document the structural and surface features of the arc-shaped radar echoes (ASREs) evident along an outer rainband of Typhoon Longwang as it ...
Formation of the Convective Lines off the Mountainous Coast of Southeastern Taiwan: A Case Study of 3 January 2004
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Convective lines frequently occurring off the mountainous coast of southeastern Taiwan under weakly synoptically forced weather conditions are one of the most well-known mesoscale phenomena in Taiwan. These lines usually ...
Airborne Doppler Observations of a Cold Front in the Vicinity of Vancouver Island
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study uses airborne Doppler radar and flight-level measurements from the Coastal Observations and Simulations with Topography experiment to examine the detailed mesoscale structure of an oceanic cold front upstream ...
Radar Observations of the Diurnally Forced Offshore Convective Lines along the Southeastern Coast of Taiwan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study documents offshore convective lines along the southeastern coast of Taiwan, a frequent but poorly understood mesoscale phenomenon that influences coastal weather during the Taiwan mei-yu season. Doppler radar ...
Airborne Doppler Observations of a Landfalling Cold Front Upstream of Steep Coastal Orography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study uses airborne Doppler radar observations to describe the mesoscale structure and evolution of a cold frontal system as it made landfall on the mountainous coast of Oregon and northern California on 1 December ...
Radar Observations of Intense Orographic Precipitation Associated with Typhoon Xangsane (2000)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: With measurements from two ground-based Doppler radars located in northern Taiwan, this study documents the detailed aspects of intense orographic precipitation associated with Typhoon Xangsane (2000) as it moved northward ...
Statistical Location and Timing of the Convective Lines off the Mountainous Coast of Southeastern Taiwan from Long-Term Radar Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, observations from the C-band Doppler radar on Green Island, which is located off the southeastern coast of Taiwan, during 1998?2004 were analyzed to investigate the statistical characteristics of the convective ...
