Katabatic Flow: Analytic Solution for Gradually Varying Eddy Diffusivities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple form of the Prandtl model addressing pure katabatic flows is solved. The new analytic solution is valid for almost any assigned eddy diffusivity K(z) and constant Prandtl number. This model assumes a one-dimensional ...
Evaluation of a Regional Atmospheric Model Using Measurements of Surface Heat Exchange Processes from a Site in Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A regional atmospheric climate model with a horizontal grid spacing of 55 km has been used to simulate the Antarctic atmosphere during an austral summer period. ECMWF reanalyses were used to force the atmospheric prognostic ...
Temperature Sensitivity of the Antarctic Surface Mass Balance in a Regional Atmospheric Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of the surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet to a change in temperature and a change in the sea ice extent is studied with a regional atmospheric climate model (RACMO) using a horizontal grid ...
