The COMET Program Cold Air Damming Module
 Entry ID: UCAR_COMET_MODULE

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Cold Air Damming is part of the Mesoscale Meteorology Primer series. This module first presents a Navy forecast scenario prior to the development of a major cold air damming (CAD) event along the east slopes of the Appalachian Mountains. Then, from a conceptual standpoint, the classic CAD scenario is described in detail, both from an observational and modeling standpoint.

Purpose: After completing this module, the learner should be able to do the following things: Characterize cold air damming • Identify the elements that are required for a CAD event. • Identify sensible weather phenomena associated with cold air damming. • Describe the nature and importance of overrunning winds in a CAD event. • Describe the conditions leading to a barrier jet during a CAD event. • ...
