A high-resolution TaiwanVVM LES ensemble is simulated with the realistic, complex topography of Taiwan to present the development diurnal convection under weak synoptic weather dominated by local circulation.
The left animation is a current climate simulation initiated using Banqiao sounding observed in August 30th 2007. The right animation is a future climate simulation adopting the pseudo global warming strategy, with spatially uniform 3 K warming and constant relative humidity (based on the future projection of TaiESM).
This animation shows the evolution of local wind field (blue arrows) and precipitation (color shading).
High-resolution idealized VVM LESs are used to investigate the diurnal convection over a conceptualized mountainous island and its response to local circulation variabilities under large-scale suppressed conditions. This animation shows the detailed time evolution of low-level circulation and boundary layer structures,
exhibiting two robust peaks in the diurnal evolution of orographically-locked precipitation.
