Abstract: The effects of mesoscale forcing and diabatic heating on the development of convective systems have been investigated using a simplified numerical model to simulate the squall line and the convective system preceding it ...

Abstract: The 48 h evolution of an observed cold front is simulated by a three-dimensional mesoscale-numerical model for a typical springtime synoptic situation over the southeastern United States. The model used in this study employs ...

Abstract: A detailed analysis is made of a three-dimensional numerical simulation of the evolution of an observed moist frontal system over a 48 h period. The simulated front undergoes an initial period of frontogenetic growth, ...

Abstract: An investigation is made of the stability of a convectively unstable atmosphere in the presence of a stably stratified layer beneath, which is moving with a constant velocity relative to the upper air. This work is an ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional nonhydrostatic cloud model is used to simulate the squall line observed in central Texas on 11 April 1979. The cloud model covers an area 400 ? 400 km2 with a 5-km horizontal resolution and is supplied ...
