Central Australian Cold Fronts

摘要: Abstract This paper presents an observational study of the structure and behavior cold fronts over central Australia during late dry season, a time year when prefrontal convectively well-mixed layer is particularly deep. The based on results Central Australian Fronts Experiments (CAFE) held in 1991. Three were documented unprecedented detail for region using greatly enhanced surface-observing network boundary wind profiler, as well serial upper-air soundings. Data surface energy balance obtained also. A common feature observed CAFE was that they dry. shallow (∼1 km deep), moved into deep (∼4 km) layer. One them initiated major dust storms across Australia. prominent marked diurnal variation their signature through network. Noteworthy tendency night initiatio...
