NAME Enhanced Observation Period

This is the webpage for the 5th Science Working Group Meeting of the NAME Enhanced Observation Period. The meeting will address key science questions related to low-level circulations, moisture transport, diurnal convective rainfall, moisture sources, and land surface fluxes in southwestern North America. The agenda includes presentations on surface flux, radar, atmospheric profile, aircraft, and oceanographic observations.

  3. NAME Tier-1 Objectives • How are low-level circulations along the Gulf of California / west slopes of the Sierra Madre Occidental related to the diurnal cycle of moisture and convection? (low-level circulation) • What is the relationship between moisture transport and rainfall variability (e.g. forcing of surge events; onset of monsoon details)? (moisture transport) • What is the typical life cycle of diurnal convective rainfall? Where along the western slope of the Sierra Madre Occidental is convective development preferred? (diurnal cycle) • What are the dominant sources of precipitable moisture for monsoon precipitation over southwestern North America? (moisture sources) • What are the fluxes of energy and water from the land surface to the atmosphere across the core monsoon region, and how do these fluxes evolve in time during the warm season? (land surface)
