Abstract: The mutual forcing of a midlatitude upper-tropospheric jet streak by organized mesoscale adiabatic and diabatic processes within a simulated convective system (SCS) is investigated. Using isentropic diagnostics, results ...

Abstract: In a validation experiment of a hybrid isentropic?sigma coordinate primitive equation model developed at the University of Wisconsin (the UW ??σ model), an initial value technique is used to investigate numerically the ...

Abstract: The main goals of this paper are 1) to demonstrate the feasibility of incorporating a prognostic equation for water vapor and diabatic processes in the University of Wisconsin ??σ model discussed in Part I, 2) to document ...

Abstract: The primary objectives of this study are threefold: 1) to compare simulators of dry and moist baroclinic development from 10-and 22-layer hybrid isentropic-sigma coordinate models with those from 11-, 27-, and 35-layer ...
