Simulation of Coastal Circulation in the Eastern Mediterranean Using a Spectral Microphysics Cloud Ensemble Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interaction of the cold season land breeze with the background flow in the Eastern Mediterranean and its influence on the climatic distribution of convective precipitation is studied using a 2D nonhydrostatic cloud ...
Effects of Large Eddies on the Structure of the Marine Boundary Layer under Strong Wind Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model of the atmospheric boundary layer (BL) is presented that explicitly calculates a two-way interaction of the background flow and convective motions. The model is utilized for investigation of the formation of large ...
