Observation and Analysis of the Modification of Landfalling Storms by Coastal Trapped Flows
Abstract
The objective of our work has been to collect and analyze observations of the evolution of turbulent-scale and mesoscale storm structures in the vicinity of coastal terrain. These observations are forming the basis for comprehensive validations of high-resolution NWP simulation experiments. Our project (summarized in Bond et al., 1997) is intended to complement the research being conducted on warm season coastal phenomena along the U.S. West Coast, which involves a different type of marine boundary layer and large-scale background forcing.
