Abstract: Mixed-layer models are computationally efficient, but they do not realistically represent the structure of the boundary layer under many conditions. Many of the deficiencies of the mixed-layer model can be attributed to ...

Abstract: The structure of the interfacial layer capping the atmospheric boundary layer is not well understood. The dominant influence on turbulence within the interfacial layer is the stable stratification induced by the capping ...

Abstract: Turbulent fluctuations of a conservative scalar in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) can be generated by a scalar flux at the surface, a scalar flux of entrainment at the ABL top, and the ?chewing up? of scalar variations ...

Abstract: umerical models have long predicted that the deforestation of the Amazon would lead to large regional changes in precipitation and temperature, but the extratropical effects of deforestation have been a matter of controversy. ...

Abstract: This work continues the presentation and evaluation of the Ocean?Land?Atmosphere Model (OLAM), focusing on the model?s ability to represent radiation and precipitation. OLAM is a new, state-of-the-art earth system model, ...

Abstract: his study evaluates interior nudging techniques using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for regional climate modeling over the conterminous United States (CONUS) using a two-way nested configuration. ...

Abstract: n important question in regional climate downscaling is whether to constrain (nudge) the interior of the limited-area domain toward the larger-scale driving fields. Prior research has demonstrated that interior nudging can ...

Abstract: Meteorological observations and model simulations are used to show that the catastrophic ice storm of 4?5 December 2002 in the southeastern United States resulted from the combination of a classic winter storm and a warm ...
