Abstract: Observations and numerical modeling of the bay and ocean breezes of Port Phillip Bay show that the interaction of these two breezes produces features undocumented in previous sea-breeze studies. The first of these is the ...

Abstract: The Latrobe Valley is situated in a coastal region of complex terrain in southeastern Australia. During typical summertime conditions of light synoptic winds and clear skies, the low-level regional wind field is dominated ...

Abstract: Numerical model simulations have been performed with the Colorado State University mesoscale model to determine the regions of most likely occurrence of first cumulonimbus activity. It is shown that during the day, convergence ...

Abstract: An analysis is carried out of summertime surface and upper-air wind and temperature data from the Latrobe Valley in southeastern Australia. An easterly sea breeze is found to regularly penetrate over 100 km up the ...

Abstract: A nonhydrostatic mesoscale model is used to simulate the dynamics and microphysics of postfrontal flow in the mountainous region of southeastern Australia. The aim of the paper is to determine if it is possible to use 2D ...
