Abstract: Nonlinear nonhydrostatic conditional symmetric instability (CSI) is studied as an initial value problem using a two-dimensional (y, z)nonlinear, nonhydrostatic numerical mesoscale/cloud model. The initial atmosphere for ...

Abstract: Numerical forecasts from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?s mesoscale version of the ? coordinate?based model, hereafter referred to as MESO, have been analyzed to study the roles of conditional symmetric ...

Abstract: Deep convection and its associated mesoscale circulations are modeled using a three-dimensional elastic model with bulk microphysics and interactive radiation for a composite easterly wave from the Global Atmospheric ...

Abstract: Alternatives to the retrieval techniques applied by NESDIS operations to derive the FGGF Level IIa soundings are examined. A physical iterative retrieval technique is compared to the operational statistical method, and the ...

Abstract: Satellite imagery dramatically portrays a mesoscale organization of deep convection over the south central United States on 5 June 1986. Free convection was expected over the region. The rapid development and organization ...

Abstract: A cumulus parameterization based on mass fluxes, convective-scale vertical velocities, and mesoscale effects has been incorporated in an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM). Most contemporary cumulus parameterizations ...

Abstract: he Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) has developed a coupled general circulation model (CM3) for the atmosphere, oceans, land, and sea ice. The goal of CM3 is to address emerging issues in climate change, including ...
