SNOWIE is a comprehensive observational and modeling research program to address longstanding uncertainties regarding the effectiveness of orographic winter precipitation enhancement through cloud ...

Orographic precipitation is a key weather phenomenon associated with the Atlas Mountains. As moist air masses ascend the ...

My research focuses on investigating kinematic and microphysical processes in orographic precipitation, winter storms, and tornadic thunderstorms and how these processes affect precipitation ...

and orographic precipitation. I joined the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado at Boulder in January of 2008. Investigating cloud formation processes and ...

The main tools have been the Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR) and the UW King Air aircraft. Dynamics and microphysics of orographic precipitation (since 2006) Dynamics of radar fine-lines in the ...

It was discovered that by filtering the elevation variable, a proxy variable encapsulating the orographic effect more convincingly could be created. This new layer was much more highly correlated with ...

While episodes of heavy rain are often termed “cloudburst”, a cloudburst has a fixed technical definition, and is more common ...

incorporating cutting-edge technology that predicts maximum accumulated rainfall within a 500-meter grid. It takes into consideration the influence of orographic turbulence in mountainous areas, and ...
