Simulating orographic rainfall with a limited-area, non-hydrostatic atmospheric model under idealized forcing
A modified version of an operational 3dimensional, non-hydrostatic, limited-area atmospheric model (MM5) was used to perform high-resolution, idealized simulations of the interaction of an infinitely long single ridge with a steady, lateral large-scale wind field. The effect of different mountain ridge dimensions, wind speeds and patterns and moisture profiles on the quantity and distribution o...
متن کاملA Dynamical Model of Orographic Rainfall
A dynamical model for orographic rainfall with particular reference to the Western Ghats is presented. The model assumes a saturated atmosphere with pseudo-adiabatic lapse rate and is based on linearized equations. The rainfall, as computed from the theoretical model, is in good agreement, both in intensity and in distribution, with the observed rainfall on the windward side of the mountain. Th...

متن کاملNon-robustness of convective organization in idealized mesoscale model simulations
In a prior study, Su, Bretherton, and Chen used the Penn State/National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) to study the organization of deep convection in a nonrotating atmosphere over a horizontally uniform tropical ocean, with periodic boundary conditions and an imposed mean lifting. They found that convection could “self-aggregate” from small-scale initial noise into a lar...
متن کاملSignatures of nonlinear dynamics in an idealized atmospheric model
Signatures of nonlinear dynamics are analyzed by studying the phase-space tendencies of a global baroclinic, quasi-geostrophic, three-level (QG3) model with topography. Nonlinear, stochastic, low-order prototypes of the full QG3 model are constructed in the phase space of this model’s empirical orthogonal functions using the empirical model reduction (EMR) approach. The phase-space tendencies o...
