RISThe Influence of Mesoscale Orography on a Coastal Jet and Rainband
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of mesoscale orography along the central California coast in the development and evolution of a coastal jet and rainband is investigated using a high-resolution, triply nested, nonhydrostatic numerical model. ...
Coupled Atmosphere–Ocean Wave Simulations under High Wind Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of ocean surface waves on the structure and intensity of three tropical cyclones and a topographically forced bora event is investigated using a coupled atmosphere?ocean wave modeling system. The coupled system ...
Diurnal Variation of Downslope Winds in Owens Valley during the Sierra Rotor Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of diurnal forcing on a downslope wind event that occurred in Owens Valley in California during the Sierra Rotors Project (SRP) in the spring of 2004 has been examined based on observational analysis and diagnosis ...
Topographically Generated Cloud Plumes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two topographically generated cirrus plume events have been examined through satellite observations and real-data simulations. On 30 October 2002, an approximately 70-km-wide cirrus plume, revealed by a high-resolution ...
The Impact of Moisture on Mountain Waves during T-REX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of moist processes on mountain waves over Sierra Nevada Mountain Range is investigated in this study. Aircraft measurements over Owens Valley obtained during the Terrain-induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX) indicate ...
Gravity Wave Breaking over the Central Alps: Role of Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The characteristics of gravity waves excited by the complex terrain of the central Alps during the intensive observational period (IOP) 8 of the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP) is studied through the analysis of aircraft ...
On the Diurnal Variation of Mountain Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal variation of mountain waves and wave drag associated with flow past mesoscale ridges has been examined using the Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) and an analytical boundary layer ...
Mesoscale Response to a Meandering Surface Temperature Interface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale variation of the boundary-layer (BL) front produced by a surface temperature interface depends upon the scale of meander along that interface. For a relatively large-scale meander, the circulations are quasi ...
Influence of Mesoscale Dynamics and Turbulence on Fine Dust Transport in Owens Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fine dust particles emitted from Owens (dry) Lake in California documented during the Terrain-Induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX) of 2006 have been examined using surface observations and a mesoscale aerosol model. Air quality ...
