Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Factors controlling rain on small tropical islands: diurnal cycle, large-scale wind speed, and topography
Abstract: A set of idealized cloud-permitting simulations is performed to explore the influence of small islands on precipitating convection as a function of large-scale wind speed. The islands are situated in a long, narrow ocean domain that is in radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE) as a whole, constraining the domain-average precipitation. The island occupies a small part of the domain, so...
متن کاملRain on small tropical islands
[1] A high‐resolution rainfall climatology based on observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission’s Precipitation Radar (PR) instrument is used to evaluate the influence of small tropical islands on climatological rainfall. Islands with areas between one hundred and several thousand km are considered in both the Indo‐Pacific Maritime Continent and Caribbean regions. Annual mean clim...
متن کاملWind Speed Effects on Rain Erosivity
*Katharina Helming, Center for Agricultural Landscape and Land Use Research (ZALF), Eberswalder Str. 84, D-15374 Muencheberg, Germany. *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The kinetic energy of rainstorms plays a paramount role in surface sealing, runoff, and erosion processes. Typically, the kinetic energy rate is calculated based on terminal velocity of vertically falling raindrop...
متن کاملComprehensive Parametric Study for Design Improvement of a Low-Speed AFPMSG for Small Scale Wind-Turbines
In this paper, a comprehensive parametric analysis for an axial-flux permanent magnet synchronous generator (AFPMSG), designed to operate in a small-scale wind-power applications, is presented, and the condition for maximum efficiency, minimum weight and minimum cost is deduced. Then a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) procedure based on the results of parametric study is proposed. Matching between t...
متن کاملRelative effects of wind stress curl, topography, and stratification on large-scale circulation in Lake Michigan
[1] This paper uses the results from two multiseason numerical model simulations of Lake Michigan hydrodynamics to examine the relative effects of wind stress curl, topography, and stratification on large-scale circulation. The multiseason simulations provide a period long enough to encompass the full range of atmospheric and thermal conditions that can occur in the lake. The purpose of this pa...
