A Bayesian Hydrometeor Classification Algorithm for C-Band Polarimetric Radar

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
A hydrometeor classification algorithm is developed by applying Bayes’ theorem to C-band polarimetric weather radar measurements. The Bayesian hydrometeor classification algorithm (BHCA) includes eight hydrometeor types: hail, rain, graupel, dry ...

On ALADIN precipitation modeling and validation in an Alpine watershed [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2003
Highly resolved precipitation forecasts are necessary in many applications, especially in mountain meteorology and flash flood forecasts for small- to medium-sized alpine watersheds.

Investigate the impacts of assimilating satellite rainfall estimates on rainstorm forecast over southwest United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Using the MM5-4DVAR system, a monsoon rainstorm case over southern Arizona (5-6 August 2002) was investigated for the influence of assimilating satellite rainfall estimates on precipitation forecasts.

Combination of mesoscale and synoptic mechanisms for triggering an isolated thunderstorm: Observational case study of CSIP IOP 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Copyright @ 2007 AMSAn isolated thunderstorm formed in the southern United Kingdom on 15 June 2005 and moved through the area where a large number of observational instruments were deployed as part of the Convective Storm Initiation Project.

Temporal and spatial dynamics of a local wind in Japan, “Kiyokawa‐dashi”: Insights from high‐density observations and numerical simulations

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We studied a renowned local wind in Japan, “Kiyokawa‐dashi,” with a numerical model and high‐density observations at approximately 1‐km intervals. “Kiyokawa‐dashi” typically begins with intense winds descending onto a confined area leeward of a gorge at the initiation stage and expands over the entire plain at the mature stage.

Rapid versus slow intensification of idealized tropical cyclones using soundings from reanalysis

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Climatologically averaged environmental wind and moisture around intensifying tropical cyclones are used in an idealized model to further discriminate differences between ensembles of rapidly (RI) and slowly (SI) intensifying storms. On average, RI storms have lower vertical tilt, are more axisymmetric, and less ventilated at onset than SI storms, and ...

Observations of a frontal–trough merger over a wildfire, Queensland, Australia

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Observations are presented of the meteorology of a frontal–trough merger in subtropical Australia which impacted a wildfire. An elevated nocturnal mixed layer above approx. 2500 m with increasing moisture with height was identified as the source of instability that resulted in the formation of elevated storms along a 300‐km frontal–trough boundary ...

Two-dimensional simulations of katabatic layers observed during the GIMEX experiment [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 1999
The hydrostatic model SALSA is used to simulate a particular event observed during the Greenland Ice Margin EXperiment "GIMEX" (on July 12th, 1991).

Weather systems and their contribution to seasonal rainfall in Australia

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Closed low‐pressure systems (including tropical cyclones) contribute to most of the summer rainfall over northern Australia. In southern Australia, winter rainfall is mainly associated with Rossby wave breaking, cyclones, and warm conveyor belts. Summer and winter rainfall patterns can be explained by changes in large‐scale flow and associated weather ...

Data management and analysis with WRF and SFIRE

open access: yes, 2012
We introduce several useful utilities in development for the creation and analysis of real wildland fire simulations using WRF and SFIRE. These utilities exist as standalone programs and scripts as well as extensions to other well known software.
