Abstract: A system of equations governing the behavior of a physical model of the atmospheric, planetary boundary layer was formulated for solution on a digital computer. The physical-numerical model was designed to permit the ...

Abstract: A set of wind and temperature profile formulas are derived for the constant-flux atmospheric boundary layer in lapse stratification. These formulas imply a relationship between the eddy transfer coefficient ratio, KH/KM, ...

Abstract: Work published in 1968 by Crowley is adapted to study the truncation error associated with the semimomentum scheme for approximating advection. The results indicate that higher order approximations based on the semimomentum ...

Abstract: It is shown by elementary analysis that the two-step Lax-Wendroff method for integrating the advection equation is subject to nonlinear computational instability. The source of the instability lies in the possibility of ...

Abstract: SYNOPSIS The sea breeze at Corpus Christi attains unusually high velocities, becoming a fresh to strong southeast wind in the afternoon during summer. The same character of sea breeze is not to be found on either the ...

Abstract: The 50-story One Shell Plaza Building, when completed in 1971, was the tallest concrete building in the world. Towering at 217.7 m (714 ft), One Shell Plaza still reigns as the tallest lightweight concrete building in the ...

Abstract: Pielke and Mehring have recently recommended a method for contouring temperature fields in mountainous terrain. In attempting to extend this method to the more complex terrain on the prototype, federal, oil shale leaseholds ...
