Hierarchy of Mesoscale Flow Assumptions and Equations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present research proposes a standard nomenclature for mesoscale meteorological concepts and integrates existing concepts of atmospheric space scales, flow assumptions, governing equations, and resulting motions into a ...
Topographic Vorticity-Mode Mesoscale-β (TVM) Model. Part I: Formulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The three-dimensional, flat-terrain, finite-difference URBMET vorticity, mode mesoscale-? model has been modified to include topographic effects. The resulting topographic vorticity-mode mesoscale-? (TVM) model is hydrostatic, ...
On the Environmental Sustainability of Building Integrated Solar Technologies in a Coastal City
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, a firstorder environmental impact study of a largescale deployment of solar energyinstalled technologies in a complex coastal urban environment is conducted. The work is motivated by the positive prospects ...
Topographic Vorticity-Mode Mesoscale-β (TVM) Model. Part II: Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The new topographic vorticity-mode mesoscale-? (TVM) model, whose formulation is described in Part I of this paper, was used to simulate data from the June 1983 Sixth European Remote Sensing Campaign on Air Pollution at ...
SURF: Understanding and Predicting Urban Convection and Haze
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUrbanization modifies atmospheric energy and moisture balances, forming distinct features [e.g., urban heat islands (UHIs) and enhanced or decreased precipitation]. These produce significant challenges to science ...
