RISMeteorological Downscaling with WRF Model, Version 4.0, and Comparative Evaluation of Planetary Boundary Layer Schemes over a Complex Coastal Airshed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Gap Winds in a Fjord. Part II: Hydraulic Analog
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple shallow-water model of gap wind in a channel that is based upon hydraulic theory is presented and compared with observations and output from a 3D mesoscale numerical model. The model is found to be successful in ...
Gap Winds in a Fjord. Part I: Observations and Numerical Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Gap winds in Howe Sound, British Columbia, are described and placed in context by reviewing studies of similar phenomena in other locations. An observational program consisting of a surface mesonetwork and vertical soundings ...
Ensemble Construction and Verification of the Probabilistic ENSO Prediction in the LDEO5 Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) retrospective ensemble-based probabilistic predictions were performed for the period of 1856?2003 using the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, version 5 (LDEO5), model. To obtain more ...
Numerical Modeling of a Coastal Trapped Disturbance. Part II: Structure and Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A detailed analysis of a simulation of a coastal trapped disturbance (CTD) using the Colorado State University Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) is presented. The CTD considered (15?18 May 1985) represents an ...
Numerical Modeling of a Coastal Trapped Disturbance. Part I: Comparison with Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The coastal trapped disturbance (CTD) of 15?17 May 1985 represents an example of a strong mesoscale trapped event along the west coast of North America with abrupt transitions in many basic meteorological parameters. In ...
Strengthening Bridges with Postinstalled Coiled Spring Pin Shear Connectors: State-of-the-Art Review
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many existing bridge structures experience much more significant loads and load cycles than were anticipated when the bridges were originally designed. An effective way to increase the load capacity and fatigue resistance ...
Hydraulic Physical Modeling and Observations of a Severe Gap Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Strong gap winds in Howe Sound, British Columbia, are simulated using a small-scale physical model. Model results are presented and compared with observations recorded in Howe Sound during a severe gap wind event in December ...
Coastally Trapped Wind Reversals: Progress toward Understanding
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Coastally trapped wind reversals along the U.S. west coast, which are often accompanied by a northward surge of fog or stratus, are an important warm?season forecast problem due to their impact on coastal maritime activities ...
The Community Foehn Classification Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
