Drainage Flow Prediction with a One-Dimensional Model Including Canopy, Soil and Radiation Parameterizations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mathematical model for simulation of winds over mountain slopes was developed and tested withobservations from Australia and the western United States. The model computes profiles of wind andtemperature normal to the ...
A Parameter Study of Interactions Between Convective Clouds, the Convective Boundary Layer, and a Forested Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical model was developed which included cloud parameterizations, a convective boundary layer, solar and longwave radiation, a soil layer and a parameterized forest layer. The model simulated the growth of the ...
Orographic Cloud over the Eastern Slopes of Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii, Related to Insolation and Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the period 1?11 June 1978, solar radiation and other meteorological data were gathered at eight stations arranged in a nearly linear transaction extending from the coast at Hilo, Hawaii to Mauna Loa Observatory, 60 ...
Application of a Convective Plume Model to Prediction of Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The numerically calculated height of a steady-state model of a convective plume, which relies on the entire sounding of temperature and humidity above the assumed cloud base, is considered to be a measure of the thermodynamic ...
Two-Dimensional Simulations of Drainage Winds and Diffusion Compared to Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A vertically integrated dynamical drainage flow model is developed from conservation equations for momentum and mass in a terrain-following coordinate system. Wind fields from the dynamical model drive a Monte Carlo transport ...
Average Diurnal Behavior of Surface Winds during Summer at Sites in Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mean diurnal wind distributions from five surface stations in the rugged Geysers area of northern California were examined to determine how they were affected by the terrain. The one dimensional slope-flow model of Garrett ...
Remote Measurement of Heat Flux from Power Plant Cooling Lakes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: aboratory experiments have demonstrated a correlation between the rate of heat loss q? from an experimental fluid to the air above and the standard deviation σ of the thermal variability in images of the fluid surface. ...
