Abstract: Observations of surface winds in the vicinity of a moderate-sized (about 70 km2) dry salt lake by Tapper suggest that differences in albedo and soil thermal properties between the salt and surrounding sand surfaces may be ...

Abstract: The problem of how to formulate random walk dispersion models in situations where the flow properties vary discontinuously across an interface is considered. It is shown how the dispersion model can be made consistent with ...

Abstract: The thermal impact of differential cloud shading across a cold front is evaluated briefly through conceptual, scaling, and numerical-modeling approaches. It is suggested that in summer the shading may enhance the boundary-layer ...

Abstract: Observations of four cold-frontal systems traversing the coastal region of southeast Australia in late spring and early summer are described in terms of process occurring on the mesoscale. A conceptual model is presented ...

Abstract: Phase I of the Cold Fronts Research Programme was carried out during November/December 1980 in south-eastern Australia. Data from a frontal event on 27 November are analyzed, with particular emphasis on a squall line that ...
