An investigation of Mesoscale Flows Induced by Vegetation Inhomogeneities Using an Evapotranspiration Model Calibrated Against HAPEX-MOBILHY Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many recent studies have suggested that heterogeneities in soil properties or vegetation characteristics many trigger mesoscale circulations in planetary boundary layer (PBL). Unfortunately, these flows appear to be very ...
The Numerical Simulation of Clouds, Rains and Airflow over the Vosges and Black Forest Mountains: A Meso-β Model with Parameterized Microphysics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional meso-? model with parameterized microphysics is presented. The model is capable of simulating orographically forced clouds, rain, and airflow. Tests using a two-dimensional version confirm the ability ...
Impact of Two Microphysical Schemes upon Gas Scavenging and Deposition in a Mesoscale Meteorological Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two widely used microphysical schemes are compared to evaluate their possible impact on wet deposition mechanisms. They are based upon different spectral distributions for raindrops (Marshall-Palmer and lognormal distributions) ...
A Case Study of Coupling between Low- and Upper-Level Jet–Front Systems: Investigation of Dynamical and Diabatic Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An example of coupling between an upper-level and a low-level jet?front system is analyzed using the mesoscale hydrostatic model SALSA. The case study chosen is the cold front sampled during the intensive observation period ...
