The Numerical Simulation of Orographic Storms (Wales, Seeder-Feeder Mechanism, Bergeron)
Abstract
dc:descriptionRecent observational studies of winter storms over the Glamorgan Hills of south Wales (Browning et al., 1974, and Hill et al., 1981) have confirmed the importance of the seeder-feeder mechanism of orographic precipitation enhancement, proposed by Bergeron (1965). However, the latter study also indicated that the sensitivity of the enhancement to the low-level wind speed is much greater than predicted by the seeder-feeder model of Bader and Roach (1977), which simulates only the microphysical processes.
