A Collaborative Approach to Study Northwest Flow Snow in The Southern Appalachians
2009
Bulletin of The American Meteorological Society - (BAMS)
N orthwest flow snow (NWFS) in the southern Appalachian region occurs during periods of moist, upslope flow in association with northwest low-level wind, often resulting in significant snowfall in the absence of synoptic-scale upward vertical motion. Very sharp snow accumulation gradients are created by the superposition of the synoptic-scale flow across the long, but rather narrow, mountain range and smaller-scale upward and downward motions induced by the numerous ridges and valleys
