Abstract: Lee vortices have been frequently observed in the wake of mesoscale mountains under a low Froude number flow regime. During the Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX), a cyclonic vortex was observed to the Ice of Taiwan ...

Abstract: The Purdue Mesoscale Model (PMM) is applied to study the flow past large idealized mountains under a low Froude number. Results show that for Reynolds numbers in the range of 4 < Re < 1000, as long as the flow is symmetric ...

Abstract: An atmospheric general circulation model simulation for 1948?97 of the water budgets for the MacKenzie, Mississippi, and Amazon River basins is presented. In addition to the water budget, passive tracers are included to ...

Abstract: 14-yr climatology of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) collocated multisensor signal statistics reveals a distinct land?ocean contrast as well as geographical variability of precipitation type, intensity, and ...

Abstract: Mesoscale circulation around Taiwan and the surrounding area has been investigated using the Purdue mesoscale model. The numerical results generated in an inviscid atmosphere show: (a) A cyclonic vortex forms in the southeast ...

Abstract: urrent cloud microphysical schemes used in cloud and mesoscale models range from simple one-moment to multimoment, multiclass to explicit bin schemes. This study details the benefits of adding a fourth ice class (frozen ...

Abstract: he assimilation of observations in reanalyses incurs the potential for the physical terms of budgets to be balanced by a term relating the fit of the observations relative to a forecast first guess analysis. This may ...

Abstract: A multiscale modeling framework (MMF), which replaces the conventional cloud parameterizations with a cloud-resolving model (CRM) in each grid column of a GCM, constitutes a new and promising approach for climate modeling. ...
