A Priori Field Study of the Subgrid-Scale Heat Fluxes and Dissipation in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Field measurements are carried out to study statistical properties of the subgrid-scale (SGS) heat fluxes and SGS dissipation of temperature variance in the atmospheric surface layer, and to evaluate the ability of several ...
Subgrid-Scale Dissipation in the Atmospheric Surface Layer: Effects of Stability and Filter Dimension
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Field measurements are undertaken with the specific purpose of addressing open issues in subgrid-scale (SGS) modeling of turbulence for large eddy simulation. Wind velocity and temperature signals are obtained using a ...
Lidar-Based Estimation of Small-Scale Rainfall: Empirical Evidence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A significant scale gap between radar and in situ measurements of rainfall using rain gauges and disdrometers indicates a pressing need for improved knowledge of rainfall variability at the spatial scales below those of ...
Comparison of Tropical Ocean–Atmosphere Fluxes with the NCAR Community Climate Model CCM3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The properties of the marine boundary layer produced by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model version 3 (CCM3) are compared with observations from two experiments in the central and ...
An Experimental Study of Small-Scale Variability of Radar Reflectivity Using Disdrometer Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of data collected by four disdrometers deployed in a 1-km2 area is presented with the intent of quantifying the spatial variability of radar reflectivity at small spatial scales. Spatial variability of radar ...
Lidar Method to Estimate Emission Rates from Extended Sources
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPollutant emissions to the atmosphere commonly derive from nonpoint sources that are extended in space. Such sources may contain area, volume, line, or a combination of emission types. Currently, point measurements, ...
