Abstract: The theory by Rice for extreme value statistics is used to study the influence of filters in a wind measuring system on the measured gusts. An extension is made to discretely sampled data. Model results are compared with ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the results of a surface-layer experiment near the Cabauw meteorological mast. We measured momentum, heat and moisture fluxes at two heights, namely, 3.5 and 22.5 m. The measurements also include the ...

Abstract: In this paper a summary is given of observations and modeling efforts on surface fluxes, carried out at Cabauw in The Netherlands and during MESOGERS-84 in the south of France. Emphasis is put on those aspects that are ...

Abstract: A generalized coupling is proposed between atmospheric models and surface schemes (land and ocean). A set of input and output variables is defined for this purpose in such a way that it can be used by many current and ...

Abstract: Stimulated by the results of a simple SST anomaly experiment with the ECMWF forecast model, a study was carried out to examine the model parameterization of evaporation from the tropica] oceans. In earlier versions of the ...

Abstract: The Agulhas Current is the major western boundary current of the Southern Hemisphere. South of Africa it retroflects back into the southwest Indian Ocean, transporting relatively warm water into the midlatitudes. Large ...

Abstract: Two simplifying assumptions adopted in the current ECMWF surface scheme are explored: a uniform skin temperature for all grid-box fractions with variable latent heat release and a fixed value of an effective heat conductivity ...

Abstract: sentation of the atmospheric boundary layer is an important part of weather and climate models and impacts many applications such as air quality and wind energy. Over the years, the performance in modeling 2-m temperature ...

Abstract: he collective representation within global models of aerosol, cloud, precipitation, and their radiative properties remains unsatisfactory. They constitute the largest source of uncertainty in predictions of climatic change ...
