The Role of Topography on the 7 June 2012 Tornadic Supercell near Wheatland, WY
… values and low shear values, as well as synoptic forcing, a front at the surface and a dryline. The conditions turned out to be somewhat different from the other case, and in the case of the Wheatland storm, a synoptic scale upper-level trough and associated shortwave contributed, and …

Experimental and numerical investigation of turbulence in Stable Boundary Layer flows
… Both are fair-weather episodes with weak synoptic forcing and well-developed diurnal local circulations, differing by the thermal stratification in the basin. In particular, the influence of thermal stratification on the outbreak of a valley-exit wind coming from a tributary valley is …

Synoptic Scale Weather Patterns Associated with Annual Snow Accumulation Variability in North-Central Greenland
Abstract Previous studies on the synoptic forcing of high elevation areas of central Greenland have mostly relied on ice cores, snow pits, mesoscale models, and climate models. In this study, a radar-measured 118-year annual snow accumulation record (1889-2006) along a 375 km traverse between NGRIP …

Characterization and modeling of aerosol-cloud interactions toward the improvement of rainfall estimation in high mountains
… and delayed onset of rainfall under weak synoptic forcing conditions. For large-scale systems with strong and sustained moisture convergence at low levels (frontal and tropical systems), mechanically forced rainfall efficiency is enhanced despite high CDNC, there is no delay in the onset …

Free convection and turbulent fluxes over complex terrain
… month COPS experiment. In situations of weak synoptic forcing, thermally driven orographic (e.g. valley winds) or local wind systems developed over the complex terrain due to heating differences. During the adaption of these wind systems to changing heating differences (e.g. during the …
