Online Rainfall Atlas of Hawai‘i
Thomas W. Giambelluca,Qi Chen,Abby G. Frazier,Jonathan P. Price,Yi-Leng Chen,Pao-Shin Chu,Jon Eischeid,Donna Delparte +7 more
TL;DR: The Rainfall Atlas of Hawai'i as discussed by the authors is a set of digitalmaps of the spatial patterns of the 1978-2007 meanmonthly and annual rainfall for the major Hawaiian islands.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Rainfall Characteristics of Taiwan
Ching-Sen Chen,Yi-Leng Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the rainfall regimes of Taiwan using the 18-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) data (1980-97), the available 38-yr daily rainfall data from 25 conventional surface stations around Taiwan (1961-98), and the 5-yr hourly rainfall data (1994-98) from 249 high-spatial-resolution Automatic Rainfall and Meteorological Telemetry System (ARMTS) stations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of wave energy resources in Hawaii
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors implemented a nested computational grid along the major Hawaiian Islands in the global WaveWatch3 (WW3) model and utilized the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model to provide high-resolution mesoscale wind forcing over the Hawaii region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diurnal Variation of Surface Airflow and Rainfall Frequencies on the Island of Hawaii
Yi-Leng Chen,Andrew J. Nash +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Portable Automated Mesonet data from the Hawaiian Rainband Project (PAVM) to document the circulation over the entire island of Hawaii for the first time, and found that the surface airflow and rainfall occurrences over the island are strongly modulated by the diurnal heating cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistics of Heavy Rainfall Occurrences in Taiwan
TL;DR: In this article, the seasonal variations of heavy rainfall days over Taiwan are analyzed using 6-yr (1997-2002) hourly rainfall data from about 360 rainfall stations, including high-spatial-resolution Automatic Rainfall and Meteorological Telemetry System stations and 25 conventional stations.
