Sources and Transfer Processes in the Air Layers Occupied by Vegetation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A one-dimensional model for transfer processes within the air layers occupied by vegetation is presented. This involves a height-dependent apparent diffusivity and vertical profiles of (i) mean concentration in the air and ...
Atmospheric Heat Engines on Earth and Mars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The character of the Earth's atmospheric heat engine depends, inter alia, on the relatively tight linkage between surface fluxes of energy and of H20. On Mars, on the other hand, H2O-based latent heat fluxes are only a ...
On the Madden–Julian Oscillation–Atlantic Hurricane Relationship
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large-scale equatorial circulation known as the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) has been shown to impact tropical cyclone activity in several basins around the globe. In this paper, the author utilizes an MJO index ...
Modeling Mamala Bay Outfall Plumes. I: Near Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The near-field behavior of the Sand Island, Hawaii, ocean outfall plume was modeled. The model, a modified version of the Environmental Protection Agency Roberts-Snyder-Baumgartner model, used as input data simultaneous ...
Modeling Mamala Bay Outfall Plumes. II: Far Field
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The far-field behavior and water quality impacts of the Sand Island, Hawaii, ocean outfall plume were predicted using two models, a statistical short-term model and a long-term model. The short-term model is coupled to a ...
A Physical Bound on the Bowen Ratio
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Forbidding supersaturation above an evaporating water (or sublimating ice) surface fixes an upper bound on ?, the Bowen ratio; a similar bound holds for evaporation from unsaturated surfaces. The bound arises from the ...
Conservative Shape-Preserving Two-Dimensional Transport on a Spherical Reduced Grid
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new discretization of the transport equation for two-dimensional transport is introduced. The scheme is two time level, shape preserving, and solves the transport equation in flux form. It uses an upwind-biased stencil ...
The Madden–Julian Oscillation’s Impacts on Worldwide Tropical Cyclone Activity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he 30?60-day Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) has been documented in previous research to impact tropical cyclone (TC) activity for various tropical cyclone basins around the globe. The MJO modulates large-scale convective ...
Prediction of Seasonal Atlantic Basin Accumulated Cyclone Energy from 1 July
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State University currently issues seasonal forecasts for Atlantic basin hurricane activity in early April, June, and August. This paper examines the potential for issuing an ...
