RISAir and Surface Temperature Coupling in the Convective Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n a convective boundary layer, coherent structures were detected through their thermal signature on an artificial turf surface using high-frequency thermal infrared (TIR) imagery and surface layer turbulence measurements. ...
Closed-Form Analytic Solution of Cloud Dissipation for a Mixed-Layer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractStratocumulus clouds play an important role in climate cooling and are hard to predict using global climate and weather forecast models. Thus, previous studies in the literature use observations and numerical ...
Modeling the Thermal Effects of Artificial Turf on the Urban Environment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of artificial turf (AT) on the urban canopy layer energy balance, air and surface temperatures, and building cooling loads are compared to those of other common ground surface materials (asphalt, concrete, and ...

On the Magnitude and Variability of Subgrid-Scale Eddy-Diffusion Coefficients in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eddy-viscosity closures for large eddy simulations (LES) of atmospheric boundary layer dynamics include a parameter (Smagorinsky constant cs), which depends upon physical parameters, such as distance to the ground, atmospheric ...
Field Experimental Study of Dynamic Smagorinsky Models in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of dynamic Smagorinsky models is performed based on the Horizontal Array Turbulence Study (HATS) dataset. In the experiment, two vertically separated horizontal arrays of 14 three-dimensional sonic anemometers ...
Analysis and Application of Sheppard’s Airflow Model to Predict Mechanical Orographic Lifting and the Occurrence of Mountain Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mechanically driven orographic lifting is important for air pollution dispersion and weather prediction, but the small dimensions of mountain peaks often prevent numerical weather models from producing detailed forecasts. ...
New Mexico Scintillometer Network: Supporting Remote Sensing and Hydrologic and Meteorological Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In New Mexico, a first-of-its-kind network of seven large aperture scintillometer (LAS) sites was established in 2006 to measure sensible heat fluxes over irrigated fields, riparian areas, deserts, lava flows, and mountain ...
Factors Controlling Stratocumulus Cloud Lifetime over Coastal Land
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he breakup of stratocumulus clouds over coastal land areas is studied using a combination of large-eddy simulations (LESs) and mixed-layer models (MLMs) with a focus on mechanisms regulating the timing of the breakup. In ...
Reconciling and Validating the Cloud Thickness and Liquid Water Path Tendencies Proposed by R. Wood and J. J. van der Dussen et al.
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: detailed derivation of stratocumulus cloud thickness and liquid water path tendencies as a function of the well-mixed boundary layer mass, heat, and moisture budget equations is presented. The derivation corrects an error ...
