An Application of the Dividing-Streamline Concept to the Stable Airflow over Mesoscale Mountains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric stable airflow over a mesoscale mountain chain has been considered in order to provide an evaluation, based on isentropic analysis, of the base height of the upwind flow layer passing over the mountains. The ...
Relationship between the Vertical Velocity Skewness and Kurtosis Observed during Sea-Breeze Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fourth-order moments of vertical velocity in the convective boundary layer (CBL) are seldom available because the unsteady nature of atmospheric flows makes time statistics unreliable for the evaluation of high-order ...
Transfer of Particles in Nonisotropic Air Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The inertia of particles is the basis of the present model of particle ?dry deposition? from a turbulent fluid. The basic physical concepts of particle thermal motion as described by Einstein are herein extended to describe ...
Lagrangian Particle Simulation of Tracer Dispersion in the Lee of a Schematic Two-Dimensional Hill
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spray, a 3D Lagrangian particle model for the simulation of complex flow dispersion, is presented. Its performance is tested against the Environmental Protection Agency wind tunnel concentration distribution of passive ...
