Investigation of PR and TMI Version 6 and Version 7 Rainfall Algorithms in Landfalling Tropical Cyclones Relative to the NEXRAD Stage-IV Multisensor Precipitation Estimate Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ainfall estimates from versions 6 (V6) and 7 (V7) of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) 2A25 and Microwave Imager (TMI) 2A12 algorithms are compared relative to the Next Generation ...
Rainfall, Convection, and Latent Heating Distributions in Rapidly Intensifying Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropical cyclone (TC) rainfall, convection, and latent heating distributions are compiled from 14 years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar overpasses. The dataset of 818 Northern Hemisphere ...
Microphysical Enhancement Processes within Stratiform Precipitation on the Barrier and Sub-Barrier Scale of the Olympic Mountains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Stratiform Precipitation Processes in Cyclones Passing over a Coastal Mountain Range
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) documented precipitation and drop size distributions (DSDs) in landfalling midlatitude cyclones with gauges and disdrometers located at various distances from the coast ...
Vertical Structure and Microphysical Characteristics of Frontal Systems Passing over a Three-Dimensional Coastal Mountain Range
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAs midlatitude cyclones pass over a coastal mountain range, the processes producing their clouds and precipitation are modified, leading to considerable spatial variability in precipitation amount and composition. ...

Kelvin–Helmholtz Waves in Precipitating Midlatitude Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study examines Kelvin?Helmholtz (KH) waves observed by dual-polarization radar in several precipitating midlatitude cyclones during the Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) field campaign along the windward ...

The Quinault Blowdown: A Microscale Wind Event Driven by a Mountain-Wave Rotor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractOn 27 January 2018, a highly localized, strong wind event occurred along the north shore of Lake Quinault, Washington. The resulting loss of large old-growth trees in a roughly 0.5-km2 region led to blocked roads ...
