The Impact of Lee-side Static Stability on the Distribution of Orographic Precipitation
نویسنده
چکیده
Numerical simulations are presented to examine the effect of the lee-side static stability on the spillover of orographic precipitation. The results show that the presence a cold-air pool in the lee of a mountain ridge greatly increases the precipitation spillover because the cold pool suppresses the lee-side downslope air motion that otherwise leads to a rapid evaporation of the precipitation. The enhancement of the lee-side precipitation reaches up to two orders of magnitude in a nonconvective environment and ranges around one order of magnitude in convective cases. However, the largest absolute spillover is found for a convectively unstable environment because convective cells decay more slowly than stratiform precipitation.

Ground-based and airborne Doppler radar data collected during passage of frontal rainstorms over the European Alps and Cascade Mountains of Oregon are found to exhibit characteristic cross-barrier flow and precipitation patterns. A stably stratified layer of blocked (or partially blocked) low-momentum flow below mountain-crest level is separated from strong cross-barrier flow aloft by a concent...

In order to solve the problem of voltage drop and voltage imbalance in the distribution systems, the injection of reactive power by multiple static compensators is used. The distributed generation such as photovoltaic systems could play a role of the static compensators by producing reactive power. In this paper, the integral to droop line algorithm is used to control the reactive power in busb...
