Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical model suitable for simulating an ensemble of cumulus clouds has been developed. It differs from similar models in its greater emphasis on turbulent processes in the boundary layer and in clouds. ...

Abstract: Mixing of entrained air in stratus clouds is an important but poorly understood process. It is a crucial ingredient of cloud-top entrainment instability (CEI). CEI has been proposed as a breakup mechanism for stratus clouds. ...

Abstract: Intermonthly and interannual teleconnection patterns in the 700 mb geopotential height field during the Northern Hemisphere winter are computed by the method of digital filtering and spatial correlation analysis. A comparison ...

Abstract: Wind and temperature profiles and corresponding acoustic sounder data collected in September 1982 are presented for nocturnal drainage flow and inversion breakup in two Alberta mountain valleys. The results show that the ...

Abstract: Bulk aerodynamic formulas are applied to meteorological data from low-altitude aircraft flights to obtain observational estimates of the subgrid enhancement of momentum, sensible heat, and latent heat exchange at the ...

Abstract: The energetics of large-scale disturbances of the wintertime, Northern Hemisphere circulation are studied with the OSU two-level general circulation model. The behavior of simulated eddies with short time-scale (2.5 to 10 ...
