Sensitivity of Local Predictions to Initial Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A hydrostatic, anelastic mesoscale numerical model is used to study the predictability of a sea breeze type of circulation over La Plata River in South America. The experiments are designed to test the sensitivity of the ...
Atmospheric Circulation Associated with Persistent Generalized Frosts in Central-Southern South America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the large-scale atmospheric circulation associated with persistent generalized frosts (GFs; at least 75% of the stations report frosts) in the east-central region of Argentina known as the Wet Pampa. ...
Transformed Shoreline-following Horizontal Coordinates in a Mesoscale Model: A Sea Land-Breeze Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A hydrostatic and incompressible mesoscale model with transformed horizontal coordinates is presented. The model is applied to study the sea-land-breeze circulation over Río de La Plata. One of the new coordinates is ...
The Influence of ENSO in the Flows of the Upper Paraná River of South America over the Past 100 Years
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Upper Paraná River is the main tributary of the La Plata River basin, the second largest in South America, contributing with an annual mean flow of 12 000 m3 s?1 to more than one-half of the total water flowing in the ...
Low-Level Wind Field Climatology over the La Plata River Region Obtained with a Mesoscale Atmospheric Boundary Layer Model Forced with Local Weather Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A primitive equation, dry, hydrostatic, and incompressible mesoscale boundary layer model is used to simulate the high-horizontal-resolution low-level wind field ?climatology? over the La Plata River region in South America. ...
Atmospheric Turbidity over Central North Carolina
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Some 8500 observations of atmospheric turbidity, taken at Raleigh, North Carolina from July 1969 to July 1975 are analyzed for within-day and day-to-day variations and their dependence on meteorological parameters. The ...
