Abstract: rapped lee wave interference over double bell-shaped obstacles in the presence of surface friction is examined. Idealized high-resolution numerical experiments with the nonhydrostatic Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Mesoscale ...

Abstract: Lee-wave resonance over double bell-shaped obstacles is investigated through a series of idealized high-resolution numerical simulations with the nonhydrostatic Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) ...

Abstract: This article delivers a short history of the early quantitative documentation of a rotor-type circulation in the bora-type flow on the northern Adriatic by Andrija Mohorovi?i?, an all-around geophysicist and the father of ...

Abstract: Under the influence of the east-northeasterly trade winds, the island of Hawaii generates a wake that extends about 200 km to the west-southwest. During the HaRP project in July and August 1990, five wake surveys were ...

Abstract: The organization of convection by vertical shear strongly affects the transport of horizontal momentum, yet the concept of organization has received little attention in convective parameterization. Here the focus is on ...

Abstract: The effect of a critical level on airflow past an isolated axially symmetric obstacle is investigated in the small-amplitude hydrostatic limit for mean flows with linear negative shear. Only flows with mean Richardson ...

Abstract: The Sierra Wave Project was the first post?World War II (WWII) mountain meteorology field experiment in the United States designed to study mountain lee-wave phenomena. In its concept, design, organization, and execution, ...

Abstract: This note presents a satellite-based climatology of the Sierra Nevada mountain-wave events. The data presented were obtained by detailed visual inspection of visible satellite imagery to detect mountain lee-wave clouds ...

Abstract: A large-amplitude lee-wave rotor event observationally documented during Sierra Rotors Project Intensive Observing Period (IOP) 8 on 24?26 March 2004 in the lee of the southern Sierra Nevada is examined. Mountain waves and ...
