Abstract: In this study the mesoscale atmospheric circulation over the southwestern Ross Sea sector during winter is examined. The hydrostatic meso-?-scale atmospheric model MAR (Modè1e Atmosphérique Régional) is used. Polar night ...

Abstract: The spatial evolution of Antarctic katabatic winds in the area of Terra Nova Bay is examined using the three-dimensional version of the Université Catholique de Louvain-Modèle Atmosphérique Régional (UCL-MAR) mesoscale ...

Abstract: The katabatic wind events observed in the coastal zone of Adélie Land, Antarctica, on 27 November and 3 December 1985 are simulated with a hydrostatic mesoscale atmospheric model coupled to a snow model. The diurnal cycle ...

Abstract: Since the mid-1960s, the southern part of Israel has experienced major land use changes following the start of the irrigation scheme and the subsequent intensification of agricultural practice. Several studies, mainly based ...

Abstract: The evolution of summer katabatic wind events over the steep slopes of Adélie Land is examined, with emphasis on the sudden cessation of these events. Different idealized large-scale forcings are considered, including a ...

Abstract: In gridpoint regional climate models (RCMs), the lateral boundary conditions are usually provided by a procedure called relaxation. The technique was originally studied in the context of numerical weather forecasting. This ...

Abstract: A meso-?-scale atmospheric model has been used to simulate atmospheric circulations observed during the Greenland Ice Margin EXperiment (GIMEX). The simulations shown here are two-dimensional and cover the 12?13 July 1991 ...

Abstract: lowCapt acoustic sensors, designed for measuring the aeolian transport of snow fluxes, are compared to the snow particle counter S7optical sensor, considered herein as the reference. They were compared in the French Alps ...

Abstract: The African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses-Model Intercomparison Project (AMMA-MIP) was developed within the framework of the AMMA project. It is a relatively light intercomparison and evaluation exercise of both global ...
