Orographic Effects on a Squall Line System over Taiwan

Momentum Transport Due to a Squall Line System over the Tropical Oceans

Fast-moving squall lines observed in the tropical oceans are treated as a gravity wave generated by the latent heat release associated with deep cumulus convection. A simple two-dimensional diagnostic linear gravity wave model forced by a zonally propagating heat source is presented. The effect of cumulus friction, or momentum exchange due to cumulus convection, is included in the wave momentum...

How Does a Tropical Squall Line Work?

Orographic Effects on Precipitating Clouds

[1] Precipitation over and near mountains is not caused by topography but, rather, occurs when storms of a type that can occur anywhere (deep convection, fronts, tropical cyclones) form near or move over complex terrain. Deep convective systems occurring near mountains are affected by channeling of airflow near mountains, capping of moist boundary layers by flow subsiding from higher terrain, a...

Radiation Effects on the On-line Monitoring System of a Hadrontherapy Center

Introduction Today, there is a growing interest in the use of hadrontherapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique. Hadrontherapy is considered a promising tool for cancer treatment, given its high radiobiological effectiveness and high accuracy of dose deposition due to the physical properties of hadrons. However, new radiation modalities of dose delivery and on-line beam monitoring play crucia...
