Multiple-Scale Terrain Forcing of Local Wind Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations and numerical simulations with a hydrostatic model are used to examine effects of regional and local terrain, synoptic forcing, and stability on the wind fields of an intermountain basin. The study area is ...
Numerical Study of the Diurnal Cycle along the Central Oregon Coast during Summertime Northerly Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A triply nested mesoscale atmospheric numerical model is used to study the dynamics of the diurnal cycle of the summertime lower atmosphere along the central Oregon coast. Simulations of four consecutive days in September ...
Fog and Low-Level Stratus in Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Simulations of the Northern California Current System Upwelling Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Surface Currents and Relative-Wind Stress in Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Simulations of the Northern California Current System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
On the Coupling of Wind Stress and Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple quasi-equilibrium analytical model is used to explore hypotheses related to observed spatial correlations between sea surface temperatures and wind stress on horizontal scales of 50?500 km. It is argued that a ...
The Climode Field Campaign: Observing the Cycle of Convection and Restratification over the Gulf Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A major oceanographic field experiment is described, which is designed to observe, quantify, and understand the creation and dispersal of weakly stratified fluid known as ?mode water? in the region of the Gulf Stream. ...
