Comparative Evaluation of an Eulerian CFD and Gaussian Plume Models Based on Prairie Grass Dispersion Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A theoretical and statistical comparison of a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with two Gaussian plume models is proposed on the Prairie Grass data field experiment for neutral conditions, using ...
On the Definition of the Cloud Water Content Fluctuations and Its Effects on the Computation of a Second-Order Liquid Water Correlation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In subgrid-scale condensation schemes of cloud models, the majority of previous authors have relied on results presented in a paper by Bougeault. In the present paper, second-order liquid water correlations are restated ...
An Estimate of Mountain Drag during ALPEX for Comparison with Numerical Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The pressure drag vector for a limited domain including the Alps is estimated for the ALPEX period of March and April 1982. All of the reported, three hourly, surface pressure data in the domain are used and maps of analyzed ...
Estimating the Meridional Energy Transports in the Atmosphere and Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The poleward energy transports in the atmosphere?ocean system are estimated for the annual mean and the four seasons based on satellite measurements of the net radiation balance at the top of the atmosphere, atmospheric ...
Momentum Budget over the Pyrénées: The PYREX Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although the qualitative influence of mountains over the atmosphere has been known for a long time, numerous deficiencies, linked to orography, are still noted, either in forecasts by regional models, or in the long-term ...
PYREX: A Summary of Findings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: About six years ago, the planned field experiment Pyrenean Experiment (PYREX) was presented in the Bulletin. After a successful field phase in October and November 1990, and much work to prepare a consistent database, ...
