A Numerical Study on Sea/Land Breezes as a Gravity Current: Kelvin–Helmholtz Billows and Inland Penetration of the Sea-Breeze Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional, nonhydrostatic, compressible, and dry numerical model was developed. By using high spatial resolution and an appropriate turbulence model, fine structure and dynamics of the sea-breeze head were investigated. ...
A Numerical Study of Nocturnal Sea Breezes: Prefrontal Gravity Waves in the Compensating Flow and Inland Penetration of the Sea-Breeze Cutoff Vortex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is demonstrated in this numerical study that prefrontal perturbations may be triggered by a penetrating sea-breeze head into an existing nocturnal temperature inversion. The perturbations consist of the lower-layer ...
Evaluation of the Warm-Season Diurnal Variability over East Asia in Recent Reanalyses JRA-55, ERA-Interim, NCEP CFSR, and NASA MERRA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: our recent reanalyses?the 55-yr Japanese Reanalysis Project (JRA-55), Interim ECWMF Re-Analysis (ERA-I), NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR), and NASA Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications ...
Convective Instability Associated with the Eastward-Propagating Rainfall Episodes over Eastern China during the Warm Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nalysis of the latest satellite rainfall and reanalysis datasets from 1998 to 2012 demonstrates that eastward-propagating rainfall episodes, which typically occur in late night and morning, are determinant factors for the ...
Low-Level Easterly Winds Blowing through the Tsugaru Strait, Japan. Part II: Numerical Simulation of the Event on 5–10 June 2003
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper investigates the structures of and diurnal variations in low-level easterly winds blowing through the Tsugaru Strait and Mutsu Bay on 5?10 June 2003 using a numerical weather prediction model. Cool air that ...
Low-Level Easterly Winds Blowing through the Tsugaru Strait, Japan. Part I: Case Study and Statistical Characteristics Based on Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study has investigated structures and diurnal variations of the easterly surface winds blowing throughout the east?west passage comprising the Tsugaru Strait, Mutsu Bay, and circumjacent terrestrial gaps in northern ...
Toward Improved Forecasts of Sea-Breeze Horizontal Convective Rolls at Super High Resolutions. Part II: The Impacts of Land Use and Buildings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: orizontal convective rolls form in coastal areas around Sendai Airport during sea-breeze events. Using a building-resolving computational fluid dynamics model nested in an advanced forecast system with a data assimilation ...
Toward Improved Forecasts of Sea-Breeze Horizontal Convective Rolls at Super High Resolutions. Part I: Configuration and Verification of a Down-Scaling Simulation System (DS3)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: orizontal convective rolls (HCRs) that develop in sea breezes greatly influence local weather in coastal areas. In this study, the authors present a realistic simulation of sea-breeze HCRs over an urban-scale area at a ...
