Abstract: A two-dimensional, third-order turbulence closure model is developed to study the atmospheric boundary layer with one horizontal direction of inhomogeneity. Use of the Flux Corrected Transport scheme leads to numerical ...

Abstract: Limited area models with pronounced topographic features need to be carefully initialized. We have attempted to adapt the nonlinear normal mode initialization technique developed for large-scale forecast models. A baroclinic ...

Abstract: A sea wind situation was analyzed during the COAST (Cooperative Operations with Acoustic Sounding Techniques) experiment. The thermal internal boundary layer (TIBL) which develops inland from the coast was investigated by ...
