Effects of Initial and Boundary Conditions of Mesoscale Models on Simulated Atmospheric Refractivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: adar ducting is caused by sharp vertical changes in temperature and, especially, water vapor at the top of the atmospheric boundary layer, both of which are sensitive to variations in the underlying surface conditions, ...
Mesoscale Modeling of Boundary Layer Refractivity and Atmospheric Ducting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study four mesoscale forecasting systems were used to investigate the four-dimensional structure of atmospheric refractivity and ducting layers that occur within evolving synoptic conditions over the eastern seaboard ...
Characteristics of Summer Airflow over the Antarctic Peninsula in Response to Recent Strengthening of Westerly Circumpolar Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Summer near-surface temperatures over the northeast coast of the Antarctic Peninsula have increased by more than 2°C over the past 40 years, a temperature increase 3 times greater than that on the northwest coast. Recent ...
