RISOn the Integral of the Surface Layer Profile-Gradient Functions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New forms of the exact primitives (Nickerson and Smiley, 1975) for the Businger et al. (1971) surface layer gradients are described for the unstable case. In addition to all the theoretical advantages of the Nickerson and ...
Normal Mode Initialization of the RPN Finite Element Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The technique of nonlinear normal mode initialization is applied to a limited area model by interpolating initialized fields obtained from a hemispheric spectral model. The vertical structure of the two models is identical ...
The Influence of Mesoscale Features of the Sea Surface Temperature Distribution on Marine Boundary Layer Winds off the Scotian Shelf during the Superstorm of March 1993
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper studies the mesoscale wind field during the blizzard of March 1993 off the east coast of North America and examines the influence of the sea surface temperature distribution on surface winds. Can the Gulf Stream ...
Finescale Topography and the MC2 Dynamics Kernel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Canadian Mesoscale Compressible Community (MC2) model provided daily forecasts across the Alps at 3-km resolution during the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP) field phase of 1999. Among the results of this endeavor, ...
Implementing Large-Eddy Simulation Capability in a Compressible Mesoscale Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he large size of modern wind turbines and wind farms triggers processes above the surface layer, which extend to the junction between microscales and mesoscales, and pushes the limits of existing approaches to predict the ...
Moisture Transport Diagnosis of a Wintertime Precipitation Event in the Mackenzie River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wintertime precipitation events in the Mackenzie River basin (MRB) play an important role in the hydrology of the region because they contribute substantially to water storage prior to the spring runoff maximum. The Mesoscale ...
Diabatic initialization of the Canadian Regional Finite-Element (RFE) Model Using Satellite Data. Part I: Methodology and Application to a Winter Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The usefulness of numerical weather prediction models in very short-range forecasting is limited by the spinup problem, resulting in an underestimation of both the divergent wind component and the precipitation. To alleviate ...
Simple Tests of a Semi-Implicit Semi-Lagrangian Model on 2D Mountain Wave Problems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The fully compressible 3D nonhydrostatic semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian MC2 (mesoscale compressible community) model described by Tanguay et al. has been modified in order to incorporate orography through the Gal-Chen and ...
The Role of Land Surface Schemes in Short-Range, High Spatial Resolution Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many studies have demonstrated the importance of land surface schemes in climate change studies using general circulation models (GCMs). However, there have not been many studies that explore the role of land surface schemes ...
Toward the Use of Coupled Atmospheric and Hydrologic Models at Regional Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to present the possibilities offered by coupled atmospheric and hydrologic models as a new tool to validate and interpret results produced by atmospheric models. The advantages offered by ...
