A Numerical Shallow-Fluid Model Including Orography with a Variable Grid
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A system of shallow-fluid equations on the rotating earth is integrated numerically as an initial and boundary value problem for air flow across a mountain barrier. The fluid is confined in a channel bounded by two parallel ...
THE DYNAMIC STRUCTURE OF LEE WAVE FLOW AS OBTAINED FROM BALLOON AND AIRPLANE OBSERVATIONS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The lee flow disturbances produced by the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies have been quantitatively observed in a continuing program at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The results of midtroposphere ...
Dynamics of Katabatic Winds in Colorado' Brush Creek Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is proposed to evaluate the coupled mass, momentum and thermal energy budget equations for a deep valley under two-dimensional, steady-state flow conditions. The method requires the temperature, down- valley wind ...
