A Forward-Backward Time Integration Scheme to Treat Internal Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A forward time difference in the momentum equations and a backward time difference in the thermodynamic equation is conditionally stable according to von Neumann?s stability analysis of linearized anelastic equations. In ...
Boundary-Layer Forcing as a Possible Trigger to a Squall-Line Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The study of the life history of the 8 June 1966 squall line by Ogura and Chen (1977) indicates that a well-defined narrow hand of horizontal convergence was present at low levels prior to the appearance of first radar ...
Convection in the Lower Atmosphere and its Effects
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development of convection in the lower atmosphere created by diurnal heating of the earth's surface is investigated by the use of a nonlinear numerical model. It is found that under the influence of the stable ...
An Intercomparison of Model-Predicted Wave Breaking for the 11 January 1972 Boulder Windstorm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two-dimensional simulations of the 11 January 1972 Boulder, Colorado, windstorm, obtained from 11 diverse nonhydrostatic models, are intercompared with special emphasis on the turbulent breakdown of topographically forced ...
