Mesoscale modeling of lake effect snow over Lake Erie – sensitivity to convection, microphysics and the water temperature
Lake effect snow is a shallow convection phenomenon during cold air advection over a relatively warm lake. A severe case of lake effect snow over Lake Erie on 24 December 2001 was studied with the MM5 and WRF mesoscale models. This particular case provided over 200 cm of snow in Buffalo (NY), caused...
