RISA Theoretical Study of the St. Louis Heat Island: Some Parameter Variations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the more important parameters affecting the urban heat island circulation in St. Louis. The effects of heat island intensity, surface roughness, horizontal diffusion and ...
Aspects of the Evolution Of the Marine Boundary layer during Cold-Air Outbreaks off the Southeast Coast of the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Remote sensing and in situ measurements that were obtained in February 1986 were combined with the results from a boundary-layer model to study aspects of the evolution of the marine boundary layer (MBL) during two cold-air ...
A Theoretical Study of the St. Louis Heat Island: The Wind and Temperature Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional primitive equation model was used to study the St. Louis heat island. In this paper, the influence of synoptic wind speed and wind direction on the heat island is presented. With respect to the synoptic ...
Observations and Simulations of the Diurnal Variation of the Urban Heat Island Circulation and Associated Variations of the Ozone Distribution: A Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The observed surface and upper air temperature and wind field patterns on 8 June 1976 in St. Louis, Missouri, were analyzed and compared with simulation results from a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. An urban heat ...
