Taiwan LAPS Products and Usage Homepage

From this page you can access examples of LAPS products in Taiwan, as well as some of the training talks on LAPS given during the visit by Ed Szoke and Steve Albers of FSL during 20-23 February 2001.

This page has been assembled by Ed Szoke. You can view my homepage here.

Examples of LAPS cases from Taiwan can be found here.

Examples include some LAPS plots from Typhoon Nari (14-18 September 2001), Typhoon Billis (22-23 August 2000) and a weakly forced convective case (30 June-1 July 2000).

We have also added some examples that examine cases with LAPS analyses that show local maxima, and determining whether or not they are real.

LAPS training: from visit during week of 20-23 February 2001.

Colorado summer convective example from 17 August 1999.
Use of LAPS in a weakly-forced convective event that develops along a stationary boundary in northeastern Colorado.

Colorado summer convective example from 14 May 1999.
Use of LAPS in a convective line event that develops along/ahead of a strong cold front moving across northeastern Colorado.

A wintertime case from Colorado from 8 February 2001.
This case illustrates some useful LAPS products for diagnosing highly forced events. Upper-level forcing, jet streak diagnosis, and CSI, among other factors, are illustrated with this case.
