RISHigh-Resolution Large-Eddy Simulations of Flow in a Steep Alpine Valley. Part II: Flow Structure and Heat Budgets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper analyzes the three-dimensional flow structure and the heat budget in a typical medium-sized and steep Alpine valley?the Riviera Valley in southern Switzerland. Aircraft measurements from the Mesoscale Alpine ...
Contrails to Cirrus—Morphology, Microphysics, and Radiative Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This work is two pronged, discussing 1) the morphology of contrails and their transition to cirrus uncinus, and 2) their microphysical and radiative properties. It is based upon the fortuitous occurrence of an unusual set ...
Objective Assessment of the Information Content of Visible and Infrared Radiance Measurements for Cloud Microphysical Property Retrievals over the Global Oceans. Part II: Ice Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cirrus clouds play an important yet poorly determined role in the earth?s climate system and its various feedback mechanisms. As such, a significant amount of work has been accomplished both in understanding the physics ...
Effect of Air Pollution on Precipitation along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Air pollution generated in industrial and urban areas can act to suppress precipitation by creating a narrow cloud droplet spectrum, which inhibits the collision and coalescence process. In fact, precipitation ratios of ...
Bridge Frost Prediction by Heat and Mass Transfer Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Frost on roadways and bridges can present hazardous conditions to motorists, particularly when it occurs in patches or on bridges when adjacent roadways are clear of frost. To minimize materials costs, vehicle corrosion, ...
On Improving 4-km Mesoscale Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A previous study showed that use of analysis-nudging four-dimensional data assimilation (FDDA) and improved physics in the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale ...
Parameterization of the Urban Water Budget with the Submesoscale Soil Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents the hydrological component of the Submesoscale Soil Model, urbanized version (SM2-U). This model is an extension of the rural Interactions between Soil, Biosphere, and Atmosphere (ISBA) soil model to ...
The Antalya 5 December 2002 Storm: Observations and Model Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the frame of this work, the storm that occurred on 5 December 2002 in Antalya, located on the southwestern Mediterranean Sea coast of Turkey, is analyzed. More than 230 mm of 24-h-accumulated rainfall have been reported ...
Evaluating a Hybrid Prognostic–Diagnostic Model That Improves Wind Forecast Resolution in Complex Coastal Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results from a hybrid approach that combines the forecasts of a mesoscale model with a diagnostic wind model to produce high-resolution wind forecasts in complex coastal orography are evaluated. The simple diagnostic ...
An Approach for Calculation of Turbulent Transfer Coefficient for Momentum inside Vegetation Canopies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method for calculating the profile of turbulent transfer coefficient for momentum inside a vegetation canopy for use in land surface schemes is presented. It is done through the following steps. First, an equation for ...
