Horizontal Grid Size Selection and its Influence on Mesoscale Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of two-dimensional spectral analysis applied to terrain heights in order to determine characteristic terrain spatial scales and its subsequent use for the objective definition of an adequate grid size required to ...
Meteorological Processes Relevant to Forest Fire Dynamics on the Spanish Mediterranean Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Valencian region on the Spanish east coast has experienced a significant increase in wildfires in the last 20 years, as have other areas in the Mediterranean basin. Experimental data and modeling results, obtained ...
Transport of Tropospheric Ozone over the Bay of Biscay and the Eastern Cantabrian Coast of Spain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the 1989 field campaigns of the European Commission?s Mesometeorological Cycles of Air Pollution in the Iberian Peninsula (MECAPIP) project (1988?91), airborne data were obtained under typical summer synoptic weather ...
Torrential Rains on the Spanish Mediterranean Coast: Modeling the Effects of the Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Torrential rains are a frequent meteorological risk in the Mediterranean Basin, and the work reported here is part of a long-term study that includes the analysis of the synoptic conditions involved in their genesis. This ...
Ozone Cycles in the Western Mediterranean Basin: Interpretation of Monitoring Data in Complex Coastal Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In summer, the complex layout of the coasts and mountains surrounding the western Mediterranean basin favors the development of mesoscale atmospheric recirculations and the formation of ozone reservoir layers above the ...
