Abstract: It is suggested that there are two major problems with the ?standard? methods of reducing pressure to sea level based on the surface temperature or the lowest-layer(s) temperature of a numerical model. The first is that ...

Abstract: A new method is presented for obtaining the numerical solution of the production-dissipation component of the turbulent kinetic energy equation that arises in the Mellor-Yamada level 2.5 turbulent closure model. The ...

Abstract: Limited-area models (LAMs) are presently used for a wide variety of research and operational forecasting applications, and such use will likely expand greatly as the rapid increase in the performance/price ratio of computers ...
