Abstract: Currently, there is no adequate cumulus parameterization suitable for use in mesoscale models having horizontal resolutions between 5 and 50 kilometers. Based on the similarity of the temporal and spatial evolution of the ...

Abstract: Vertical divergence of the mountain wave's momentum flux has recently been hypothesized to be an important contribution to the global momentum budget. Wavebreaking theories and envelope orography have been employed to ...

Abstract: Results of a simulation of a tropical squall line which allows three dimensionality on the scale of convective elements, shows many similarities with those of a two-dimensional simulation. Differences are 1) The ...

Abstract: The authors? previous idealized, two-dimensional cloud resolving model (CRM) simulations of Arctic stratus revealed a surprising sensitivity to the concentrations of ice crystals. In this paper, simulations of an actual ...
