Abstract: The geostrophic adjustment problem is considered for the case of a homogeneous fluid in a rotating cylindrical container. The formal solution for an arbitrary initial disturbance in the axisymmetrical case is obtained in ...

Abstract: An alternative approach to the design of nonhydrostatic numerical weather prediction (NWP) models is presented. Instead of extending mesoscale nonhydrostatic modeling concepts to the synoptic scales and beyond, a hydrostatic ...

Abstract: This paper describes a methodology for coupling the Simplified Simple Biosphere Model (SSiB) to the regional Eta Model of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), and presents the application of the coupled ...

Abstract: The most common option for numerical models of the atmosphere is to use model layers following the surface of the earth, using a terrain-following vertical coordinate. The present paper investigates the forecast of clouds ...
