Sensitivity of Numerical Simulations to Parameterizations of Roughness for Surface Heat Fluxes at High Winds over the Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A few roughness length schemes for surface sensible and latent heat fluxes have been developed to fit observations under low and moderate wind (<20 m s?1) conditions. It is not clear to what degree these schemes can be ...
Pathways to the Production of Precipitating Hydrometeors and Tropical Cyclone Development
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: athways to the production of precipitation in two cloud microphysics schemes available in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model are investigated in a scenario of tropical cyclone intensification. Comparisons of ...
Microphysical Process Comparison of Three Microphysics Parameterization Schemes in the WRF Model for an Idealized Squall-Line Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThree bulk microphysics schemes with different complexities in the Weather Research and Forecasting Model are compared in terms of the individual microphysical process terms of the hydrometeor mass and number mixing ...
Comparison of the Vertical Distributions of Cloud Properties from Idealized Extratropical Deep Convection Simulations Using Various Horizontal Resolutions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe authors coarse-grained and analyzed the output from a large-eddy simulation (LES) of an idealized extratropical supercell storm using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model with various horizontal ...
Observed and WRF-Simulated Low-Level Winds in a High-Ozone Episode during the Central California Ozone Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case study is carried out for the 29 July?3 August 2000 episode of the Central California Ozone Study (CCOS), a typical summertime high-ozone event in the Central Valley of California. The focus of the study is on the ...
Numerical Simulations of Air–Sea Interaction under High Wind Conditions Using a Coupled Model: A Study of Hurricane Development
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, a coupled atmosphere?ocean wave modeling system is used to simulate air?sea interaction under high wind conditions. This coupled modeling system is made of three well-tested model components: The Pennsylvania ...
Interpretation of Enhanced Integrated Water Vapor Bands Associated with Extratropical Cyclones: Their Formation and Connection to Tropical Moisture
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Trajectory analysis using a weather prediction model is performed for five cases to interpret the formation of enhanced bands of vertically integrated water vapor (IWV) in the central and eastern Pacific that are frequently ...
Parameterizations of Sea-Spray Impact on the Air–Sea Momentum and Heat Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper focuses on parameterizing the effect of sea spray at hurricane-strength winds on the momentum and heat fluxes in weather prediction models using the Monin?Obukhov similarity theory (a common framework for the ...
Contributions from California Coastal-Zone Surface Fluxes to Heavy Coastal Precipitation: A CALJET Case Study during the Strong El Niño of 1998
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of the case of 3 February 1998, using an extensive observational system in the California Bight during an El Niño winter, has revealed that surface sensible and latent heat fluxes within 150 km of the shore ...
Impact of Physics Representations in the HWRFX on Simulated Hurricane Structure and Pressure–Wind Relationships
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: series of idealized experiments with the NOAA Experimental Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Model (HWRFX) are performed to examine the sensitivity of idealized tropical cyclone (TC) intensification to various ...
