Abstract: A primitive equation planetary boundary layer (PBL) model is constructed and applied to simulate the downwind evolution of coupled dynamic, thermodynamic and cloud properties in the PBL over warmer mean. A multilayered ...

Abstract: Comparative numerical experiments and observational verifications for cold surges over the ocean are conducted using a primitive equation planetary boundary layer (PBL) model. The comparative experiments illustrate the ...

Abstract: Theoretical responses of boundary layer flow for winter cold surges crossing a coastline are determined. Analytical solutions for linearized equations describing the mixed layer adjustments to impulsive heating and surface ...

Abstract: Land surface models (LSMs) need to be coupled with atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) to adequately simulate the exchanges of energy, water, and carbon between the atmosphere and terrestrial surfaces. The ...
