Abstract: Theories and formulations for determining heights of the stable atmospheric boundary layer are reviewed. The performance of prognostic and diagnostic equations for parameterizing the nocturnal boundary layer heights are ...

Abstract: A technique is presented to deduce wind direction from satellite microwave measurements of wind speed information. The technique, based on simple Ekman boundary layer dynamics, makes use of surface pressure fields routinely ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional version of the Techniques Development Laboratory boundary layer model has been adopted to simulate the O'Neill fifth period and the Wangara day 32 experiment data. Fourteen parameterization schemes for ...

Abstract: Numerical models require parameterization of surface evaporation rates when a surface energy budget equation is included in the calculation of the surface temperature. Techniques for parameterizing surface moisture and ...

Abstract: Surface wind data taken from 19 km offshore to 14 km inland during several days of onshore wind occurrence were reduced and analysed. The mean kinetic enemy per unit mass and its changes normal to the coastline were computed ...

Abstract: Two days of global scatterometer-derived oceanic surface winds during the period of 0000 GMT 16 July-0000 GMT 18 July 1978 from the SEASAT-A satellite are used in the NMC's global data assimilation and forecast experiments ...

Abstract: is developed as a climate extension of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) by incorporating numerous improvements in the representation of physical processes and integration of external (top, surface, lateral) ...
