A Three-Dimensional Numerical Model of the Sea Breezes Over South Florida
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An eight-level three-dimensional primitive equation model which includes a detailed boundary layer parameterization scheme has been used to describe the initiation and evolution of sea-breeze convergence patterns over south ...
A Comparison of Three-Dimensional and Two-Dimensional Numerical Predictions of Sea Breezes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two-dimensional and three-dimensional sea breeze model results are compared for the same set of initial conditions and values of prescribed parameters. It is shown that with two-dimensional forcing, the two models produce ...
Asking the Right Questions: Atmospheric Sciences Research and Societal Needs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In recent years, those who conduct federally funded research in the United States have been asked by their patrons, the public and their elected representatives, to demonstrate more efficacy with respect to societal needs. ...
Heat Storage Within the Earth System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the earth's heat budget provide a real-world constraint on the radiative forcing which is simulated in global climate change models. Assessments, such as the IPCC, would more effectively depict changes over ...
Error-Growth Dynamics and Predictability of Surface Thermally Induced Atmospheric Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using the CSU Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) in its nonhydrostatic and compressible configuration, over 200 two-dimensional simulations with ?x = 2 km and ?x = 100 m are performed to study in detail the initial ...
