The Dynamical Structure of the Planetary Boundary Layer over the Arabian Sea, as Deduced from Constant-Level Balloon Trajectories
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During Summer 1979, 88 super-pressure constant-level balloons were launched at the nominal flight level of 900 mb from the Seychelles Islands and from the northern tip fo the Malagasy Republic as part of the French ...
Use of a Detailed Planetary Boundary Layer Model for Parameterization Purposes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Use is made of a three-dimensional model of the planetary boundary layer to investigate features of non-precipitating convection and its parameterization. The fine-grid mesh (50 m) model was first developed by J.W. Deardorff ...
Three-Dimensional Simulation of a Convective Storm: Sensitivity Studies on Subgrid Parameterization and Spatial Resolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article presents the main features of a three-dimensional model for deep convection developed with special care given to the formulation of subgrid turbulent processes. It explicitly simulates the dynamics of turbulent ...
Subgrid-Scale Condensation in Models of Nonprecipitating Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the shortcomings of present condensation schemes is the assumption that a computational grid volume is either entirely saturated or entirely unsaturated, which is a crude approximation in some instances even with a ...
