RISDetermining the Drag Coefficient from Vorticity, Momentum, and Mass Budget Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from Period III (19 June?2 July, 1969) of the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) are used to compute the vorticity budget in the planetary boundary layer. The computed residual, assumed to ...
Ship's Influence on Wind Measurements Determined from BOMEX Mast and Boom Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Comparison of wind speeds measured by ship mast and boom instrumentation during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) are presented. It was found that the mast wind measurements are strongly ...
The Response of the Planetary Boundary Layer to Time Varying Pressure Gradient Force
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The equations for horizontally homogeneous planetary boundary layer flow with constant eddy viscosity are integrated in time and height. The special case for which the direction of the pressure gradient force is a periodic ...
Sulfur Transport and Transformation in the Environment (STATE): A Major EPA Research Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spurred by the rising sulfate concentrations in the north-eastern United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established the Sulfur Transport and Transformation in the Environment (STATE) program to ...
Airborne Lidar Tracking of Fluorescent Tracers for Atmospheric Transport and Diffusion Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Development and validation of transport models for the study of regional acid deposition require improved observations of pollutant transport and dispersion processes. No suitable method for air-parcel tracking along ...
Implementation of an Urban Canopy Parameterization in a Mesoscale Meteorological Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An urban canopy parameterization (UCP) is implemented into the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) to improve meteorological fields in the urban ...
