Wave–Turbulence Interactions in a Breaking Mountain Wave
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mean and turbulent structures in a breaking mountain wave are considered through an ensemble of high-resolution (essentially large-eddy simulation) wave-breaking calculations. Of particular interest are the turbulent ...
Linear Theory Calculations for the Sea Breeze in a Background Wind: The Equatorial Case
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The equatorial coastal circulation is modeled in terms of the linear wave response to a diurnally oscillating heat source gradient in a background wind. A diurnal scaling shows that the solution depends on two parameters: ...
Topographic Effects on the Tropical Land and Sea Breeze
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he effect of an inland plateau on the tropical sea breeze is considered in terms of idealized numerical experiments, with a particular emphasis on offshore effects. The sea breeze is modeled as the response to an oscillating ...
Diurnal Variations of Presummer Rainfall over Southern China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the presummer diurnal cycle of rainfall (DCR) over southern China is examined using the merged 0.1°-resolution gridded hourly rain gauge and satellite rainfall dataset and the National Centers for Environmental ...
Rainy-Season Precipitation over the Sichuan Basin and Adjacent Regions in Southwestern China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he spatial variability and diurnal propagation of mean precipitation in the summer rainy seasons (from 2003 to 2010) over the Sichuan basin (SCB) and adjacent mountainous regions are examined using high spatiotemporal ...
