Landform controls on low level moisture convergence and the diurnal cycle of warm season orographic rainfall in the Southern Appalachians

Journal article Journal of Hydrology · December 1, 2015 The Advanced Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was used to simulate two warm season events representative of reverse orographic enhancement of warm season precipitation in the Southern Appalachians under weak (9-12 July, 2012) and strong (12-16 ...

An investigation of warm rainfall microphysics in the southern Appalachians: Orographic enhancement via low-level seeder-feeder interactions

Journal article Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences · January 1, 2014 Observations of the vertical structure of rainfall, surface rain rates, and drop size distributions (DSDs) in the southern Appalachians were analyzed with a focus on the diurnal cycle of rainfall. In the inner mountain region, a 5-yr high-elevation rain ga ... Full text Cite

Describing the shape of raindrop size distributions using uncorrelated raindrop mass spectrum parameters

Journal article Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology · January 1, 2014 Rainfall retrieval algorithms often assume a gamma-shaped raindrop size distribution (DSD) with three mathematical parametersNw,Dm, and μ. If only two independentmeasurements are available, as with the dualfrequency precipitation rada ... Full text Cite
