Abstract: One of the objectives of the Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain (ASCOT) program is to develop numerical models that can be used to aid in the understanding and prediction of flow patterns observed over complex terrain. ...

Abstract: A field program to study atmospheric releases around a complex building was performed in the summers of 1999 and 2000. The focus of this paper is to compare field data with a large-eddy simulation (LES) code to assess the ...

Abstract: An experiment investigating flow around a single complex building was performed in 2000. Sonic anemometers were placed around the building, and two-dimensional wind velocities were recorded. An energy-budget and wind-measuring ...

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 ...
