Miltenberger, AK (2014) Lagrangian Perspective on Dynamic and Microphysical Processes in Orographically Forced Flows. PhD thesis, ETH Zurich.
Abstract
In summary this study explores the characterisation of the orographic precipitation system with nondimensional numbers, which enhances our understanding of the fundamental interaction of dynamical and cloud microphysical processes. The results from this thesis may in future be employed for a new parameterisation of orographic precipitation in models with a coarse horizontal resolution, if the results can be extended to mixed-phase clouds. In addition the advantages of the Lagrangian perspective to address different features of orographic flow and precipitation formation is shown. The concepts proposed in this thesis provide a general framework to characterise precipitation systems and are not limited to the investigation of orographic precipitation.
