Abstract: A perturbation potential vorticity (PV) theory is developed to investigate the three-dimensional, time-dependent, linear geostrophic adjustment of a stably stratified, Boussinesq atmosphere that is disturbed from (i) ...

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: Mesoscale model simulations are performed in order to provide insight into the complex role of jet streak adjustments in establishing an environment favorable to the generation of gravity waves on 11?12 July 1981. This ...

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 ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional responses of simple stably stratified barotropic and baroclinic flows to prescribed diabatic forcing are investigated using a dry, hydrostatic, primitive equation numerical model (the North Carolina ...

Abstract: A state?of?the?science meso?b?scale numerical weather prediction model is being employed in a prototype forecast system for potential operational use at the Dallas?Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). The numerical model ...
