A Validation of FEM3MP with Joint Urban 2003 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for simulating airflow and dispersion of chemical/biological agents released in ...
Coastal Circulations and Their Influence on Deposition Patterns in the Washington, D.C. Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The existence of coastal fronts and their effects on deposition patterns in the Washington, D.C. area are presented in this paper. The data are from an experiment conducted from October 1986 to March 1987. An earlier paper ...
A Sensitivity Study of Convective Cloud Formation by Vegetation Forcing with Different Atmospheric Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Variable vegetation cover is a possible trigger for convection, especially in semiarid areas due to differential surface forcing. A two-dimensional numerical model with explicit cloud physics and a detailed vegetation ...
Use of a Large Crane for Wind and Tracer Profiles in an Urban Setting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although measured vertical profiles of wind, turbulence, and tracer concentrations are critical for understanding the urban boundary layer, it is problematic to field a sounding system or a tall structure to support ...
Evaluation of an Urban Canopy Parameterization in a Mesoscale Model Using VTMX and URBAN 2000 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A modified urban canopy parameterization (UCP) is developed and evaluated in a three-dimensional mesoscale model to assess the urban impact on surface and lower-atmospheric properties. This parameterization accounts for ...
