Abstract: An automated system has collected meteorological data hourly in the San Francisco Bay Area since October 1995. Data from sites operated by the National Weather Service, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air ...

Abstract: The results from a hybrid approach that combines the forecasts of a mesoscale model with a diagnostic wind model to produce high-resolution wind forecasts in complex coastal orography are evaluated. The simple diagnostic ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates the importance of high-quality subfilter-scale turbulence models in large-eddy simulations by evaluating the resolved-scale flow features that result from various closure models. The Advanced Regional ...

Abstract: A shallow cyclonic circulation that occurs in the summertime over the Monterey Bay (California) is investigated. Since it is often centered offshore from the city of Santa Cruz and has never been studied in detail before, ...

Abstract: This paper describes observed and simulated interactions among atmospheric forcing, cold-pool development, and complex mountain terrain at the south end of the Salt Lake valley, near the Jordan Narrows and the Traverse ...

Abstract: Applications of the Winds on Critical Streamline Surfaces (WOCSS) model in the San Francisco Bay Area are described. Three case studies, chosen to represent important classes of airflow in the region, were conducted. Two ...

Abstract: The Pennsylvania State University (PSU)/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) mesoscale model was modified and used to simulate the evolution of meteorological conditions in the vicinity of St. Louis, Missouri, ...

Abstract: Lidar experiments were conducted in the mountainous region of Bulgaria to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of major aerosol sources and the zones of aerosol accumulation. When these lidar data are combined ...
