The Relative Roles of Lateral Boundaries, Initial Conditions, and Topography in Mesoscale Simulations of Lee Cyclogenesis
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)The contributions of boundary factors, which may be considered to be independent of the physics or the dynamics of the mesoscale model, are explored in a consistent approach for a widely investigated Alpine Experiment ... -
The Sensitivity of African Wave Disturbances to Remote Forcing
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Ensembles of three simulations each, forced by June?September 1987 and 1988 sea surface temperatures, respectively, were made with a new version of the general circulation model of the National Aeronautics and Space ... -
Contemporary Climate Change in the Jordan Valley
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)This study examines the climate changes that have occurred in the 40 years since the publication of Jehuda Neumann's classic climatological studies of the energy and water balance of the natural water bodies of the Jordan ... -
Weather Conditions of 1695 96 in European Russia
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)The Russian chronicles and the diaries of Czar Peter the Great were used to describe weather conditions of the late seventeenth century in European Russia. According to these written sources, a distinct deterioration of ... -
The Design of Smooth, Conservative Vertical Grids for Interactive Grid Nesting with Stretching
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)This note describes how to generate vertically stretched grids within the context of vertical nesting that are consistent with the conservative interpolation formula used by Clark and Farley. It is shown that all nested ... -
Spatial and Temporal Variability in Microclimate and Evaporation over Lake Kinneret: Experimental Evaluation
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Microclimate characteristics and latent and sensible heat fluxes were measured continuously and simultaneously over Lake Kinneret, Israel, during two consecutive summers at the eastern (Ein Gev) and western shores (Sapir) ... -
Rainfall Distribution over Central and Southern Israel Induced by Large-Scale Moisture Flux
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)A map of annual rainfall in Israel was obtained from the real-time calculation of the net condensation in large-scale moisture transport through the eastern Mediterranean, sea surface evaporation, and orographic condensation ... -

Ozone Concentration Profiles in the Los Angeles Basin A Possible Similarity in the Build-up Mechanism of Inland Surface Ozone in Israel
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)This paper analyzes some measurements of the Southern California Air Quality Study, which collected a comprehensive air quality, meteorological, and emissions database in the Los Angeles Basin. This analysis emphasizes the ... -
Example of Reduced Turbulence during Thunderstorm Outflow
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)The vertical structures of turbulence, winds, and temperatures are analyzed from a 92-m instrumented tower and a collocated acoustic sodar during an outflow episode from a weak thunderstorm over sloping terrain in northern ... -
A Physically Based Model of Soil Freezing in Humid Climates Using Air Temperature and Snow Cover Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)A one-dimensional heat flow model is developed to estimate depths of soil freezing and thawing using a daily time step. This physically based model assumes near-saturated soil moisture conditions and simulates freezing ... -
Intercomparison of Meteorological Models Applied to the Athens Area and the Effect on photochemical Pollutant Predictions
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)In this study, four different meteorological models, one diagnostic and three prognostic, are used to develop meteorological inputs for a photochemical model, as applied to the peninsula of Athens, Greece. The comparison ... -
The Importance of Humidity Effect in Determining Flux-Profile Parameters of a Marine Surface Layer
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)The role of humidity in estimating marine surface layer stratification in terms of the ratio, R, of the humidity contribution to the total static stability is evaluated. A recent study of Geernaert and Larsen employs a ... -
Inclusion of Gravitational Drainage in a Land Surface Scheme Based on the Force-Restore Method
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)This paper presents a simple parameterization of gravitational drainage for land surface schemes describing soil water transfers according to the force-restore method of Deardorff. A one-year time series of observed soil ... -
Inferring Snow-Breeze Characteristics from Frozen-Lake Breezes
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Thermally induced flows between snow and snow-free areas (snow breezes) are difficult to evaluate by direct observations. This note outlines the equivalence of the surface thermal flux over snow and that over frozen/near-frozen ... -
A Comparison Of WSR-88D Reflectivities, SSM/I Brightness Temperatures, and Lightning for Mesoscale Convective Systems in Texas. Part I: Radar Reflectivity and Lightning
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)This is the first part of a two part study. Part I compares radar data from the League City, Texas, WSR-88D and cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning data for a set of eight mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), which occur at ... -
A Numerical Model for Chemical and Meteorological Processes in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer. Part II: A Case Study of the Air Quality Situation in Athens, Greece
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)A three-dimensional coupled mesoscale meteorological and photochemical model has been applied to the Athens basin in Greece. The Athens area experiences episodes of very high air pollution levels a few times every year. A ... -
An Analytical Method to Evaluate Mixing Length Scales for the Planetary Boundary Layer
