The Sea Breeze as a Function of the Prevailing Synoptic Situation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of the large-scale wind and temperature fields on the development of the sea breeze circulation is studied with the aid of a theoretical model. The model, which applies to a straight coastline, is integrated ...
A PREDICTION MODEL FOR CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT INTEGRATED BY FJÖRTOFT'S METHOD
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A set of prediction equations based on a 2½-dimensional model is derived. These equations are integrated graphically for ten cases of sea-level cyclogenesis. The resulting forecasts for the 1000-mb surface indicate accuracies ...
FLOW OVER A LOCALIZED HEAT SOURCE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A general theoretical model has been designed to analyze the properties of perturbations induced when air flows over an isolated warm portion of the earth's surface. The dependence of these perturbations on wind and ...
Energetics of Easterly Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The energetics of a numerically simulated easterly wave is studied. A quasi-geostrophic model is used. The easterly wave is generated by specifying a diabatic heating wave which represents the effects of deep cumulus ...
Characteristics of the ITCZ over the Eastern Pacific, 5–8 June 1979
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The thermal and moisture structures of the ITCZ over the Eastern Pacific-Central American region have been studied during a selected four-day period in June 1979 (FGGE). Composite structures were constructed by using ...
A Lake Breeze over Southern Lake Ontario
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a combined observational and theoretical study of a lake breeze over the southern shore of Lake Ontario on 3 October 1972. The structure of the lake breeze circulation and its variations in time were ...
Vorticity Budget of the Easterly Wave in Relation to Cumulus Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vorticity budget of a numerically simulated easterly wave is studied, with special emphasis on examining the effects of cumulus convective transport. A quasi-geostrophic model is used. The easterly wave is generated ...
AN EXPERIMENT IN PROGNOSTICATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experiment was conducted during the period 11 January to 21 February 1956, for the purpose of determining the manner in which graphical integrations can best be used in providing prognostic charts for sea level and for ...
A Diagnostic Model for Estimating Winds at Potential Sites for Wind Turbines
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Terrain features and variations in the depth of the atmospheric boundary layer produce local variations in wind, and these variations are not depicted well by standard weather reports. We have developed a diagnostic model ...
