Abstract: The use of a fine vertical grid resolution near the surface may lead to a numerically inconsistent approximation of the horizontal gradient terms in a terrain-following coordinate system. This occurs when the distance ...

Abstract: Radiative frost is one of the most severe weather conditions that affects agricultural activities in many parts of the world. Since various protective methods to reduce frost impact are available, refinements of frost ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical model was developed to predict the microclimate near the ground surface of local-scale domains during radiative frost events. Its performances are compared with an observational topo-climatological ...

Abstract: Model scaling of the characteristics of the sea breeze circulation involved with circular and slab elongated-symmetric midlatitude islands was performed. Larger horizontal and vertical velocities were indicated over the ...

Abstract: The axisymmetric sea and land breezes of circular islands are studied. First we show, from the equation of turbulent energy, that the marked horizontal convergence of the sea breeze intensifies the turbulence in the flow ...

Abstract: In this paper the authors study the lake and land breezes of a mesometearological system consisting of a circular lake and a level land area surrounding it. It is assumed that initially the atmosphere is at rest, the ...

Abstract: Microclimate characteristics and latent and sensible heat fluxes were measured continuously and simultaneously over Lake Kinneret, Israel, during two consecutive summers at the eastern (Ein Gev) and western shores (Sapir) ...

Abstract: Estoque's model for the sea breeze is modified with respect to some essential and other, less essential, details. It is shown among other things that the accelerational terms in the equation for the vertical component of ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical mesoscale model has been applied over the irregular terrain of northern Israel in order to simulate the local surface climate pattern associated with typical July stagnate synoptic meteorological ...
