Abstract: Linearized conditional instability theory is used to test the effects of lateral boundary conditions on convective elements. By this theory the outer environment of an amplifying convective element acts like an internal ...

Abstract: An analysis is made of Gage's proposal that the horizontal energy spectrum at mesoscale wavelengths is produced by upscale energy transfer through quasi-two-dimensional turbulence. It is suggested that principal sources ...

Abstract: A detailed analysis is presented of the large-scale, mesoscale and turbulent-scale features of a major downslope windstorm event in central Colorado on 11 January 1972. The storm is found to be associated with a moderate ...

Abstract: A system is proposed for grid allocation and differencing of apparently general applicability to purely marching-type systems of equations of fluid dynamics. The method is based on casting of the equations into the ...

Abstract: The lee flow disturbances produced by the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies have been quantitatively observed in a continuing program at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The results of midtroposphere ...

Abstract: Analysis is presented of data obtained from instrumented aircraft flying in a mountain wave of moderate amplitude west of Denver, Colo., on 17 February 1970. Emphasis is placed on determination of the downward flux of ...
