Meteorological 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
