Abstract: A simple parameterization of turbulence in an analytical study of wave drag (WD) is used upon governing equations for linearized, parallel, adiabatic, dry Boussinesq flow. Besides the known dependencies of WD on vertical ...

Abstract: A simple form of the Prandtl model addressing pure katabatic flows is solved. The new analytic solution is valid for almost any assigned eddy diffusivity K(z) and constant Prandtl number. This model assumes a one-dimensional ...

Abstract: Fully 3D nonlinear model simulations for supercritical flow along locations at the California coast, at Cape Mendocino, and Point Sur, are presented. The model results are objectively and subjectively verified against ...

Abstract: A fully nonlinear, primitive equation hydrostatic numerical model is utilized to study coastal flow along central California, combining a realistic atmospheric model, with a higher-order turbulence closure, with highly ...

Abstract: inds through the Vratnik Pass, a mountain gap in the Dinaric Alps, Croatia, are polarized along the gap axis that extends in the northeast?southwest direction. Although stronger northeasterly wind at the Vratnik Pass is ...

Abstract: This paper presents a turbulence closure for neutral and stratified atmospheric conditions. The closure is based on the concept of the total turbulent energy. The total turbulent energy is the sum of the turbulent kinetic ...

Abstract: AbstractStrong winds crossing elevated terrain and descending to its lee occur over mountainous areas worldwide. Winds fulfilling these two criteria are called foehn in this paper although different names exist depending ...

Abstract: Some of the highlights of an experiment designed to study coastal atmospheric phenomena along the California coast (Coastal Waves 1996 experiment) are described. This study was designed to address several problems, including ...
