Abstract: The influence of katabatic winds on the Antarctic coastal waters is examined by using simple models of the ocean and atmosphere. A katabatic flow model incorporating Coriolis dynamics is solved analytically and another ...

Abstract: Turbulence in stable conditions is local, that is, it is locally defined by small eddies. A local formulation for σw based on a level 2 approximation of Mellor and Yamada (1974) is proposed. The proposed formulation is ...

Abstract: This paper examines two coordinate representations for slope flow models, one a rotation of the coordinate axes, the other a generalized vertical coordinate transformation. An analytic solution is developed in both ...

Abstract: his paper explores the link between the anomalous warming hole in the southeastern United States and a major land-use/land-cover (LULC) change in the region. Land surface and satellite observations were analyzed to estimate ...

Abstract: Theoretical plume growth rates depend upon the atmospheric spatial energy spectrum. Current grid-based numerical models generally resolve large-scale (synoptic) energy, while planetary boundary layer turbulence is ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional mesoscale model was used to understand the meteorological conditions and the influence of the terrain on the local flow pattern during the Bhopal methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas leak. The study reveals that ...
