DOI: 10.1175/mwr-d-20-0253.1
Abstract: The distribution and intensity of lake- and sea-effect (hereafter lake-effect) precipitation are strongly influenced by the mode of landfalling lake-effect systems. Here, we used idealized large-eddy simulations to investigate the downstream evolution and coastal-to-inland transition… read more here.

Characterizing and Constraining Uncertainty Associated with Surface and Boundary Layer Turbulent Fluxes in Simulations of Lake-Effect Snowfall
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Weather and Forecasting"
DOI: 10.1175/waf-d-19-0153.1
Abstract: Lake-effect snow (LeS) storms are driven by strong turbulent surface layer (SL) and planetary boundary layer (PBL) fluxes of heat and moisture caused by the flow of cold air over relatively warm water. To investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/waf-d-24-0141.1
Abstract: Lake-effect snowstorms can produce large snowfall accumulations that are challenging to simulate and forecast. One source of forecast uncertainty for these events is the uncertain parameterization of sub-grid processes, such as planetary boundary layer and… read more here.
