Coordinated Observation and Numerical Study on a Diurnal Cycle of Tropical Convection over a Complex Topography in West Java, Indonesia

Abstract

Mechanisms related to the diurnal cycle of tropical deep convection over a complex terrain were investigated in the Bandung basin, West Java, Indonesia. Observational data were analyzed from X-band radar, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers, and radiosondes, in conjunction with high-resolution numerical model data.
