A Statistical Analysis of Hail Events and Their Environmental Conditions in China during 2008–15
TL;DR: In this article, an 8-yr (i.e., 2008-15) climatology of the spatiotemporal characteristics of hail events in China and their associated environmental conditions are examined using hail observations, L-band...

The Influences of Urban Building Complexes on the Ambient Flows over the Washington–Reston Region
TL;DR: In this article, the collective impacts of urban building complexes on the planetary boundary layer (PBL) winds using both observations and a mesoscale model were examined and the collective impact of building complexes was examined.
A Numerical Study of Early Summer Regional Climate and Weather over LSA-East. Part I: Model Implementation and Verification
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Paillier-NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) and a simplified simple biosphere (SSiB) scheme to study various regional climate and weather problems, including the distribution and intensity of low-level temperature and pressure perturbations and precipitation.
Ensemble-based analysis and sensitivity of mesoscale forecasts of a vortex over southwest China
TL;DR: In this article, an ensemble analysis and sensitivity experiment of a mesovortex over southwest China (Southwest Vortex, SWV) is performed with a regional ensemble prediction system in order to demonstrate the usefulness of an ensemble forecast system for diagnosing the dynamical and thermodynamic characteristics leading to the SWV's eastward movement and growth.

Genesis of Tropical Storm Eugene (2005) from Merging Vortices Associated with ITCZ Breakdowns. Part II: Roles of Vortex Merger and Ambient Potential Vorticity
Chanh Kieu,Da-Lin Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the roles of merging midlevel mesoscale convective vortices and convectively generated potential vorticity (PV) patches embedded in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) in determining tropical cyclogenesis are examined by calculating PV and absolute Vorticity budgets with a cloud-resolving simulation of Tropical Storm Eugene (2005).
