Abstract: A numerical, hydrostatic model is used to investigate the form and magnitude of the pressure drag created by 3D elliptical mountains of various heights (h) and aspect ratios (R) in flows characterized by uniform upstream ...

Abstract: The hydrostatic flow over an elliptical mountain of aspect ratio 5 is explored by numerical experiments. The upstream profiles of wind and stability are constant, the Coriolis effect is ignored, and there is free slip at ...

Abstract: n 12 August 2009, a series of satellite images revealed asymmetric shedding of atmospheric vortices in the lee of Mt. Snæfellsjökull, and their passage a distance of 120 km across Faxaflói Bay and over the city of Reykjavík ...

Abstract: n 18 November 2008 a commercial aircraft encountered severe turbulence while flying in westerly flow along the southeastern coast of Iceland and descending from 2500 m down to the ground for a safe landing. Numerical ...

Abstract: A series of idealized simulations of flow impinging on large mountains is conducted to investigate the impact of the mountain on the flow far downstream and to shed some light on the effects that Greenland may have on ...

Abstract: n this study, it is demonstrated how temperature, humidity, and wind profile data from the lower troposphere obtained with a lightweight unmanned aerial system (UAS) can be used to improve high-resolution numerical weather ...

Abstract: sity and benefits for establishing the international Earth-system Prediction Initiative (EPI) are discussed by scientists associated with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) World Weather Research Programme (WWRP), ...
