Abstract: The tropopause separates the well-mixed troposphere, which is greatly impacted by day-to-day variations in the weather (cyclones, fronts, convection, breaking waves, etc.), from the stable layered stratosphere, which is often slow to change and retains much of its characteristics for long time periods (months to years).
Quantifying Precipitation Efficiency and the Drivers of Excessive Precipitation in Post-Landfall Hurricane Harvey Weather and Climate Systems Noah Brauer April 10, 2019 3:00pm/ NWC 5600 Abstract: Hurricane Harvey produced widespread rainfall amounts over 100 cm to portions of Southeast Texas, including Houston from 26-31 August 2017. The highly efficient and prolonged warm rain processes associated […]

Effects of the Representation of Rimed Ice in Bulk Microphysics Schemes on Polarimetric Signatures Marcus Johnson Friday, April 5th 3:00pm/NWC 5600 Abstract: Many flavors of multi-category, multi-moment bulk microphysics schemes (BMPs) are available for storm-scale modeling and have various treatments of rimed ice. In this study, we compare three two-moment schemes available in the WRF model […]
