Wintertime Cold-Air Pools in the Bavarian Danube Valley Basin: Data Analysis and Idealized Numerical Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper investigates wintertime cold-air pools in a basinlike part of the Danube Valley, located in the German state of Bavaria. Specifically, the focus is on cold-pool events restricted to the basin area, that is, not ...

Mesoscale Vortices in the Weddell Sea Region (Antarctica)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Preliminary results of investigations of Antarctic mesocyclones in the Weddell Sea region are presented for the Antarctic summer periods 1983?88. Based on NOAA and METEOR satellite images, a total of 195 mesoscale vortices ...
An Improved Method for Computing Horizontal Diffusion in a Sigma-Coordinate Model and Its Application to Simulations over Mountainous Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A set of modifications is presented to reduce the unphysical impact of horizontal diffusion in numerical models with a terrain-following sigma-coordinate system. At model levels sufficiently far away from the ground, ...
A Generalized Sigma-Coordinate System for the MM5
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A generalized sigma-coordinate system is presented that allows for a rapid vertical decay of small-scale topographic structures in the coordinate surfaces. Its properties are similar to the smooth-level vertical-coordinate ...
Dynamical Aspects of Wintertime Cold-Air Pools in an Alpine Valley System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study presents high-resolution numerical simulations in order to examine the dynamical mechanisms controlling the persistence of wintertime cold-air pools in an Alpine valley system. First, a case study of a cold-pool ...
