Abstract: The interactions of atmospheric cnoidal waves with a critical level are examined using a two-dimensional numerical model. A cnoidal wave system is generated by applying a bore initial condition to a shallow surface-based ...

Abstract: Using a two-dimensional nonhydrostatic model, experiments were performed to investigate the formation and maintenance of internal waves in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. The simulations show that internal waves are generated ...

Abstract: Cold air outflow over the Gulf Stream is modeled using a cloud-resolving large-eddy simulation model with three classes of precipitation. Simulations are conducted in a quasi-Lagrangian framework using an idealized sounding ...

Abstract: Interactions between a turbulent boundary layer and nonlinear mountain waves are explored using a large-eddy simulation model. Simulations of a self-induced critical layer, which develop a stagnation layer and a strong ...

Abstract: nteraction between mixed layer baroclinic eddies and small-scale turbulence is studied using a nonhydrostatic large-eddy simulation (LES) model. Free, unforced flow evolution is considered, for a standard initialization ...

Abstract: A large eddy simulation (LES) model and the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model, which does not resolve turbulent eddies, are used to study the effect of a slope angle decrease on the structure of katabatic ...

Abstract: loud-resolving large-eddy simulations (LES) on a 500 km ? 500 km periodic domain coupled to a thermodynamic ocean mixed layer are used to study the effect of large-scale moisture convergence M on the convective population ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional large-eddy simulation (LES) model was used to examine how stratified flow interacts with bottom obstacles in the coastal ocean. Bottom terrain representing a 2D ridge was modeled using a finite-volume ...

Abstract: imulations are presented focusing on the role of temperature inversions in controlling the formation and strength of downslope wind storms. Three mechanisms are examined depending on the relative height of the inversion ...

Abstract: A simple, isolated front is modeled using a turbulence resolving, large-eddy simulation (LES) to examine the generation of instabilities and inertial oscillations by surface fluxes. Both surface cooling and surface wind ...
