Abstract: Parcel trajectories can be determined by the time integration of the velocity using the Picard successive substitution procedure. However, this scheme can rarely be applied in numerical problems because it implies (in ...

Abstract: The influence of ocean gravity waves on the wind and temperature above the surface is investigated using a one-dimensional boundary layer model. The effect of the wave-induced stress is evaluated using three parameterizations: ...

Abstract: A hydrostatic numerical model with simple microphysical parameterization is used to simulate moist slantwise convection (MSC) in an archetypal initial condition free of other kinds of instability. The numerical experiments ...

Abstract: During 9?11 August 1988, a cyclone developed over Uruguay in the Ice of the Andes Mountains and moved over the South Atlantic Ocean, where it redeveloped into an intense storm. This storm was responsible for unusual wave ...

Abstract: he wave pattern on the Brazilian coastline is composed of both wind waves and swell. The wave systems (WSs), extracted from the spectra near the coast produced by numerical wave models, reveal the occasional presence of ...

Abstract: A simple and easily implemented method is developed to keep the vertical velocity equal to zero at the bottom and top of hydrostatic incompressible numerical models. The pressure is computed at the top by correcting its ...
