Circulation Analysis of Two Snowstorms during the SNOW-TWO Program.

Abstract

In this study, the conditions during two snowstorm cases during SNOW TWO Project, 16-17 January and 23-24 January, 1984, were analyzed. In an effort to incorporate large-scale forcing, the kinematic method (so as to include the effects of latent heat release and convective transport was used to compute the large-scale vertical motion. This large-scale vertical motion computed, as well as other conditions studied for both cases, will provide useful information for the proper choice of initial conditions for future numerical simulations of cloud development. Keywords: Meteorology; Dynamics; Snowstorms; Cloud formation.
