Effects of External Parameters on the Flow Field in the Coastal Region—A Linear Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The land and sea breeze (LSB) and steady conviction (SC), superimposed on the geostrophic wind U, were analyzed by a linear model, the SC being driven by the diurnal-mean land-sea temperature difference and causing seasonal ...
A Numerical Study on Sea/Land Breezes as a Gravity Current: Kelvin–Helmholtz Billows and Inland Penetration of the Sea-Breeze Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional, nonhydrostatic, compressible, and dry numerical model was developed. By using high spatial resolution and an appropriate turbulence model, fine structure and dynamics of the sea-breeze head were investigated. ...
A Numerical Study of Nocturnal Sea Breezes: Prefrontal Gravity Waves in the Compensating Flow and Inland Penetration of the Sea-Breeze Cutoff Vortex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is demonstrated in this numerical study that prefrontal perturbations may be triggered by a penetrating sea-breeze head into an existing nocturnal temperature inversion. The perturbations consist of the lower-layer ...
Flow Mechanism for the Long-Range Transport of Air Pollutants by the Sea Breeze Causing Inland Nighttime High Oxidants
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Flow mechanism causing nighttime smog was investigated by analyzing 1) continuous records of meteorological data and concentration of Oxidants (Ox) for 15 days and 2) aircraft data along the transportation route of a ...
A Laboratory Experiment on the Dynamics of the Land and Sea Breeze
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The land and sea breeze (LSB) circulation was simulated in a laboratory using a temperature controlled water tank. Flow visualization by tellurium and phenolphthalein and velocity measurement by laser-Doppler velocimeter ...
Combination of Local Wind Systems under Light Gradient Wind Conditions and Its Contribution to the Long-Range Transport of Air Pollutants
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The meteorological structure and transport mechanism of long-range transport of air pollutants from the coastal region to the mountainous inland region were investigated using joint field observation data. The observations ...
Development of a Gas–Liquid Equilibrator for Estimating CO2 Flux at the Ocean Surface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A system for measuring partial pressure of CO2 in seawater (pCO2) has been developed as a part of a missing-sink elucidation study. The most important part of this system is the multistage bubbling gas?liquid equilibrator. ...
Long-Range Transport of Air Pollution under Light Gradient Wind Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The long-range transport of air pollution on clew days under light gradient wind conditions is investigated from an analysis of all days with high oxidant concentrations in 1979 at locations in central Japan that are far ...
Development of a Land Surface Model Including Evaporation and Adsorption Processes in the Soil for the Land–Air Exchange in Arid Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A one-dimensional soil model has been developed to better predict heat and water exchanges in arid and semiarid regions. New schemes to calculate evaporation and adsorption in the soil were incorporated in the model. High ...
Eddy Diffusivities for Momentum and Heat in the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere Measured by MU Radar and RASS, and a Comparison of Turbulence Model Predictions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecently, middle- and upper-atmosphere Doppler radar (MU radar) has enabled the measurement of middle-atmosphere turbulence from radar backscatter Doppler spectra. In this work, eddy diffusivities for momentum Km in the ...
