Abstract: An 18-h numerical simulation of the weather associated with the severe-storm outbreak in the region of the Texas-Oklahoma panhandles, during the AVE-SESAME IV study period (9?10 May 1979), was performed using the Pennsylvania ...

Abstract: Alternative treatments of the hydrologic and thermodynamic processes at the earth's surface within a mesoscale model are discussed in this study. Specifically, the question of under what circumstances it is necessary to ...

Abstract: The Penn State/NCAR mesoscale model is initialized with calm winds, a barotropic temperature pattern, and a uniform surface pressure in studies of the response of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) to realistic ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of determining the soil-water content fields required as initial conditions for land surface components within atmospheric prediction models. This is done using ...
