RISTemperature and Humidity Profiles in Mesoscale Unsaturated Downdrafts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Profiles of temperature and humidity beneath precipitating anvil clouds in tropical convective systems suggest the presence of a mesoscale unsaturated downdraft there. In this paper, a one-dimensional, steady-state, ...
Precipitation Structure of the Cloud Clusters in a Tropical Easterly Wave
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the statistics of precipitation observed over the 42.5 ? 104 km2 area covered by all four of the GATE digitized radars fair the period 2300 GMT 4 September 1974 to 2400 GMT 5 September 1974. The period ...
Behavior of the Wind Field in the Vicinity of a Cloud Cluster in the Intertropical Convergence Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 5 September 1974 double cloud cluster formed in a large-scale wind field characterized by convergence of the trade winds along a line of confluence at the surface, a synoptic-scale wave in the mid-tropospheric easterlies ...
The Contribution of Mesoscale Motions to the Mass and Heat Fluxes of an Intense Tropical Convective System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The existence of extensive precipitating anvil clouds in intense tropical convection suggests that vertical air motions associated with the anvil clouds play a significant role in the mass and heat budgets of these systems. ...
The Life Cycle and Internal Structure of a Mesoscale Convective Complex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the life cycle and precipitation structure of a Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCC) that passed through the data-collecting network of the Texas portion of the High Plains Cooperative Program (HIPLEX) ...
Comparison of Convective Mass and Heat Transports in Tropical Easterly Waves Computed by Two Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Convective fluxes of mass and beat in tropical easterly waves were computed by a slightly modified version of the method of Austin and Houze (1973). The input data for this method are radar and raingage observations of ...
The Structure and Evolution of Convection in a Tropical Cloud Cluster
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large cloud cluster which occurred over the data network of the Global Atmospheric Research Program's Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) on 5 September 1974 is examined. Data from four quantitative shipboard weather ...
Melting and Evaporation of Hydrometeors in Precipitation from the Anvil Clouds of Deep Tropical Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Five cases of horizontally uniform precipitation associated with anvil clouds were investigated using weather radar, rawinsonde, satellite and raindrop size data collected during the Global Atmospheric Research Program's ...
A Warm–Core Disturbance in the Western Atlantic During BOMEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A synoptic analysis of the only tropical depression in the BOMEX data set shows it to be a kink in the Intertropical Convergence Zone. The depression has a warm core through the troposphere to at least 250 mb, and strongest ...
