Abstract: Two-dimensional airflow characteristics past a heat island are investigated using both a linear analytic model and a numerical model in the context of the response of a stably stratified atmosphere to specified low-level ...

Abstract: AbstractA physically based parameterization for the autoconversion is derived by solving the stochastic collection equation (SCE) with an approximated collection kernel. The collection kernel is constructed using the ...

Abstract: A mesoscale ?arctic hurricane? developed over the western Bering Sea on 7 March 1977 and traveled eastward parallel to the ice edge along a zone of large sea surface temperature gradient. Satellite imagery reveals spiral ...

Abstract: his study identifies causative factors of the urban heat island (UHI) and quantifies their relative contributions to the daytime and nighttime UHI intensities using a mesoscale atmospheric model that includes a single-layer ...

Abstract: aytime local circulations and their interactions in the Seoul, South Korea, metropolitan area are investigated using a high-resolution mesoscale model. It is found that the urban-breeze circulation interacts strongly with ...

Abstract: The weakly nonlinear response of a two-dimensional stably stratified atmosphere to prescribed diabatic heating in a uniform flow is investigated analytically using perturbation expansion in a small value of the nonlinearity ...

Abstract: hermal effects on turbulent flow in and above a cubical building array are numerically investigated using the parallelized large-eddy simulation model (PALM). Two cases (no heating and bottom heating) are simulated and are ...

Abstract: The flow and pollutant dispersion in urban street canyons are investigated using a two-dimensional numerical model with the k?ε turbulent closure scheme. It is shown that the flow field is characterized mainly by the number ...

Abstract: Effects of nonlinearity on the stably stratified atmospheric response to prescribed low-level heating in a uniform flow are investigated through nondimensional numerical model experiments over a wide range of the nonlinearity ...
