RISMarine Boundary-layer Structure and Circulation in the Region of Offshore Redevelopment of a Cyclone during GALE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Marine boundary-layer structure and circulation is documented for the 24 February 1986 case of offshore redevelopment of a cyclone during the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) Intensive Observing Period (IOP) 9. ...
Observations of the Mean and Turbulence Structure of the Marine Boundary Layer over the Bay of Bengal during MONEX 79
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiosondes from Soviet ships along with dropsondes and mean and turbulence data from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Electra gust probe aircraft are analyzed to infer the structure of the monsoon marine ...
Dispersion of an Elevated Release in a Coastal Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a study on air pollutant dispersion from an elevated accidental release from the space shuttle tower at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida under the influence of a stratified onshore flow. The temperature ...
Effect of Land-Use Pattern on the Development of Low-Level Jets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Land-use patterns are a major factor that causes land surface heterogeneities, which in turn influence the development of mesoscale circulations. In the present study, effects of land-use patterns on the formation and ...
A Three-Dimensional Numerical Investigation of a Carolina Coastal Front and the Gulf Stream Rainband
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional mesoscale planetary boundary layer (PBL) numerical model is used to investigate mesoscale circulations over the Carolina coastal and Gulf Stream baroclinic zones. Idealized ambient onshore and offshore ...
Numerical Simulations of Cold Air Advection over the Appalachian Mountains and the Gulf Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cold air advection over the Gulf Stream off the Carolinas and the Appalachian Mountains is studied using idealized two-dimensional cases for the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) lop 2 conditions. An anelastic ...
A Comparative Study of Numerical Advection Schemes Featuring a One-Step Modified WKL Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A fourth-order Crowley-type advection scheme based on the multistep Warming-Kutler-Lomax (WKL) scheme is proposed in this study. This scheme utilizes a free parameter to minimize dispersion and dissipation and can be used ...
The Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment: The Planetary-Boundary-Layer Subprogram of GALE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE), focused an intensive data-gathering effort along the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States from 15 January through 15 March 1986. Here, the general objectives and experimental ...
Diurnal Variations in Cloud Frequency over the Gulf Stream Locale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper documents evidence of a diurnal variability in cloudiness over the Gulf Stream locale. The Gulf Stream locale (GSL) is defined as the region covering 31°?38°N, 82°?71°W. The Gulf Stream, which occupies a portion ...
Three-Dimensional Mean and Turbulence Structure of a Coastal Front Influenced by the Gulf Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interaction of oceanic fronts in the vicinity of the Gulf Stream with an atmospheric coastal front during the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) is examined using aircraft, satellite, and ship data. The nearshore, ...
