Abstract: Four regimes are identified for two-dimensional, unstructured, nonrotating, continuously stratified, hydrostatic, uniform Boussinesq flow over an isolated mountain ridge: (I) flow with neither wave breaking aloft nor ...

Abstract: In this study, it is found that the discrepancies among earlier studies of severe downslope windstorms are caused by the use of the critical level height (zc), instead of the low-level uniform flow?layer depth (z1), as an ...

Abstract: A linear theory for wave ducting is developed by solving a three-layer, steady-state nonrotating flow over a two-dimensional mountain analytically. The reflection coefficient (Ref), transmission coefficient, and the strongest ...

Abstract: Interactions between gravity waves and cold air outflows in a stably stratified uniform flow forced by various combinations of prescribed heat sinks and sources are studied using a hydrostatic two-dimensional nonlinear ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to synthesize some common synoptic and mesoscale environments conducive to heavy orographic rainfall. Previous studies of U.S. and Alpine cases and new analyses of some Alpine and east Asian ...
