Journal ArticleDOI
Global Distribution and Characteristics of Diurnally Varying Low-Level Jets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors document the global distribution and characteristics of diurnally varying low-level jets (LLJ), including their horizontal, vertical, and temporal structure, with a special emphasis on highlighting the underlying commonalities and unique qualities of the various nocturnal jets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-Eddy Simulation of an Idealized Tropical Cyclone
TL;DR: In this article, a large-eddy simulation of an idealized tropical cyclone was performed using the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting (ARW) model, using six nested grids centered on the TC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms for the Generation of Mesoscale Vortices within Quasi-Linear Convective Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a series of idealized simulations that demonstrate that the source, strength, and scale of these vortices depend on the strength of the ambient vertical wind shear and the system-generated cold pool, as well as the scale of the convective line segments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corridors of Warm Season Precipitation in the Central United States
TL;DR: In this paper, a US national composite radar dataset and model-analyzed fields are used for the 1998-2002 warm seasons (July-August) to understand the properties of precipitation corridors and what environmental factors are important for determining when and where they develop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical Simulations of the Genesis of Hurricane Diana (1984). Part II: Sensitivity of Track and Intensity Prediction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined numerous simulations that probe the dynamics governing the intensification and track of Tropical Cyclone Diana (1984) simulated in Part I. The development process is fundamentally dependent on a preexisting upper-tropospheric trough-ridge couplet.
