The Linear Stability of Nonlinear Mountain Waves: Implications for the Understanding of Severe Downslope Windstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two-dimensional vertically propagating steady state internal waves launched by the flow of stratified unboundedfluid over an obstacle of finite height are subjected to a linear stability analysis. Solution of the ...
The Structure and Energetics of Transient Eddies in a Numerical Simulation of Breaking Mountain Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results from a detailed numerical simulation of breaking mountain waves in an unbounded stratified floware analyzed in terms of the transient eddies associated with the breaking event. Upstream of the obstacle, bothhorizontal ...
On the Structural Characteristics of Steady Finite-Amplitude Mountain Waves over Bell-Shaped Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The characteristics of the two-dimensional steady state flow of unbounded stratified Boussinesq fluid over an isolated obstacle of finite height are analyzed for the simplqst case in which the incident flow speed, UO, and ...
Predictability of Precipitation Patterns: An Operational Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Predictability, defined as the ability to forecast precipitation over an area by Lagrangian persistence, is studied for 11 radar precipitation patterns. After a time ranging between 40 and 112 min, depending on individual ...
Northern Lake Impacts on Local Seasonal Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is well known that large lakes can perturb local weather and climate through mesoscale circulations, for example, lake effects on storms and lake breezes, and the impacts on fluxes of heat, moisture, and momentum. ...
Stability of Leapfrog Constant-Coefficients Semi-Implicit Schemes for the Fully Elastic System of Euler Equations: Flat-Terrain Case
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The stability of semi-implicit schemes for the hydrostatic primitive equations system has been studied extensively over the past 20 yr, since this temporal scheme and this system represented a standard for NWP. However, ...
Canadian RCM Projected Changes to Extreme Precipitation Characteristics over Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hanges to the intensity and frequency of hydroclimatic extremes can have significant impacts on sectors associated with water resources, and therefore it is relevant to assess their vulnerabilities in a changing climate. ...
