RISLarge-Eddy Simulations and Damped-Oscillator Models of the Unsteady Ekman Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Ekman boundary layer (EBL) is a central problem in geophysical fluid dynamics that emerges when the pressure gradient force, the Coriolis force, and the frictional force interact in a flow. The unsteady version of the ...
Synergistic Interactions between Urban Heat Islands and Heat Waves: The Impact in Cities Is Larger than the Sum of Its Parts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ities are well known to be hotter than the rural areas that surround them; this phenomenon is called the urban heat island. Heat waves are excessively hot periods during which the air temperatures of both urban and rural ...
Turbulence and Vertical Fluxes in the Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer. Part I: A Large-Eddy Simulation Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study seeks to quantitatively and qualitatively understand how stability affects transport in the continuously turbulent stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer, based on a suite of large-eddy simulations. The ...

Should Cities Embrace Their Heat Islands as Shields from Extreme Cold?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe higher temperature in cities relative to their rural surroundings, known as the urban heat island (UHI), is one of the most well documented and severe anthropogenic modifications of the environment. Heat islands ...
Nested Mesoscale Large-Eddy Simulations with WRF: Performance in Real Test Cases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper assesses the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) as a tool for multiscale atmospheric simulations. Tests are performed in real and idealized cases with multiple configurations and with ...
Turbulence and Vertical Fluxes in the Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer. Part II: A Novel Mixing-Length Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his is the second part of a study about turbulence and vertical fluxes in the stable atmospheric boundary layer. Based on a suite of large-eddy simulations in Part I where the effects of stability on the turbulent structures ...
On the Parameterization of Surface Roughness at Regional Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization for surface roughness and blending height at regional scales, under neutral atmospheric stability, is studied and tested. The analysis is based on a suite of large-eddy simulations (LES) over surfaces ...
On the Climatology of Precipitable Water and Water Vapor Flux in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he seasonal and diurnal climatologies of precipitable water and water vapor flux in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States are examined. A new method of computing water vapor flux at high temporal resolution in an ...
Modulation of Mean Wind and Turbulence in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer by Baroclinicity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper investigates the effects of baroclinic pressure gradients on mean flow and turbulence in the diabatic atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). Large-eddy simulations are conducted where the direction of the ...
