Abstract: This paper proposes a parameterization for use in climate models of the orographic variance and associated thermal circulation's impact on the macroscopic behavior of planetary boundary layer (PBL) stratiform clouds. ...

Abstract: everal algorithms that combine daily precipitation surface data and satellite Climate Prediction Center Morphing Technique (CMORPH) estimations were implemented and tested for the Rio Negro basin in northeastern Uruguay. ...

Abstract: This paper examines the impact of orographically induced mesoscale heterogeneities on the macroscopic behavior of planetary boundary layer (PBL) stratiform clouds, and implements and tests a physically based parameterization ...
