RISDispersion of Atmospheric Pollutants in Flow over the Shoreline of a Large Body of Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulation of pollutant dispersion and mixed-layer development in a shoreline fumigation regime was studied using a two-dimensional vertical plane model employing level two or three (depending on the experiment) from the ...
A Nocturnal Atmospheric Drainage Flow Simulation Investigating the Application of One-Dimensional Modeling and Current Turbulence Schemes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We developed a one-dimensional boundary layer model to simulate nocturnal atmospheric drainage flow on a simple forest-covered slope using canopy, soil and radiation parameterizations from previous studies along with ...
Modeling Bulk Atmospheric Drainage Flow in a Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Most simulations of bulk valley-drainage flows depend heavily on parameterizations. The 1984 Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain (ASCOT) field experiment in Brush Creek Valley, Colorado, provided an unprecedented density ...
Temporal and Spatial Aspects of Velocity Variance in the Urban Surface Roughness Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ata from six urban areas in a nationwide network of sites within the surface roughness layer are examined. It is found that the average velocity variances in time, derived by averaging the conventional variances from a ...
Velocity and Temperature Structure Functions in the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere from High-Resolution Aircraft Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution measurements obtained from NOAA ?best? atmospheric turbulence (BAT) probes mounted on an EGRETT high-altitude research aircraft were used to characterize turbulence in the upper troposphere and lower ...
A Pressure-Sphere Anemometer for Measuring Turbulence and Fluxes in Hurricanes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulence and air-surface exchange are important factors throughout the life cycle of a tropical cyclone. Conventional turbulence instruments are not designed to function in the extreme environment encountered in such ...
Mass and Momentum Balance in the Brush Creek Drainage Flow Determined from Single-Profile Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fluxes and flux-divergences of mass and momentum in Brush Creek Valley, computed from measurements taken by Tethersondes and Doppler sodars in the 1984 ASCOT experiment, are presented. Estimates of mass influx from open ...
Estimating Random Uncertainty in Airborne Flux Measurements over Alaskan Tundra: Update on the Flux Fragment Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAirborne turbulence measurement gives a spatial distribution of air?surface fluxes that networks of fixed surface sites typically cannot capture. Much work has improved the accuracy of such measurements and the ...
Urban Turbulence in Space and in Time
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he utility of aggregating data from near-surface meteorological networks for initiating dispersion models is examined by using data from the ?WeatherBug? network that is operated by Earth Networks, Inc. WeatherBug instruments ...
Calibration and Quality Assurance of Flux Observations from a Small Research Aircraft
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: mall environmental research aircraft (ERA) are becoming more common for detailed studies of air?surface interactions. The Sky Arrow 650 ERA, used by multiple groups, is designed to minimize the complexity of high-precision ...
