Diurnal and Semidiurnal Oscillations of Sea-effect Cloud Bands over the Northeastern Part of the Sea of Japan: A Numerical Study
During wintertime cold-air outbreaks (CAOs) from Siberia, wind-parallel sea-effect cloud bands over the northeastern part of the Sea of Japan (NE-SOJ) often exhibit oscillations with a prominent semidiurnal cycle, causing periodic snowfall where they make landfall on the western coast of Hokkaido Island, Japan.
