Development and validation of a sodar simulator for atmospheric boundary layer characterization
(2014-05-09)
A sodar simulator capable of producing time-series data emulating sodar signals
has been developed and tested. The atmospheric elds used to populate the sodar
simulator are taken from output of a large eddy simulation ...
4DVAR retrieval of prognostic land surface model variables.
(2004)
The major findings of the first type of retrieval are: Initial soil moisture contents as well as deep soil temperature can all be successfully retrieved, for realistic initial guess errors; the relative difficulty in ...
Alterations in land surface-atmosphere processes resulting from the 1988 Greater Yellowstone Area fires.
(2004)
Meteorological observations for the 10-year period 1984 to 1993 have been collected from 178 stations within the GYA, quality assured, and spatially and temporally interpolated to produce gridded data suitable for model ...
Large-eddy simulation of stratocumulus-topped boundary layer with an explicit and a new bulk microphysics scheme.
(1997)
The realism of the model is evaluated by a direct comparison of the model predictions with the aircraft observations of the STBL. The first case study is based on the UKMRF flight 526 measurements collected over the North ...
Tropical climate stability, Hadley circulation, and deep cumulus convection: Vital synergism on a wet planet.
(2000)
Important features of the proposed formulation for precipitating deep turbulent clouds include the ability to calculate precipitation efficiencies, a new postulation relating cumulus buoyancy to solar radiation, and the ...
A geotechniques-based exploratory investigation of vog impacts to the environmental system on Hawai'i island.
(2001)
Hawai'i Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and surrounding regions on Hawai'i Hawai'i Island were chosen for the research site because the basaltic volcanism taking place is significant, and relevant data concerning many ...
On use of the anelastic vertical vorticity equation in dual-Doppler analyses of the vertical velocity field.
(2001)
The potential for applying the anelastic vertical vorticity equation for dual-Doppler synthesis of the vertical wind field is explored. In particular, application of the vorticity equation as a weak variational constraint ...
Prediction of cloud-to-ground lightning in the western United States.
(2002)
This dissertation focuses specifically on identifying the thermodynamic environment and forcing mechanisms across the western United States that create precipitation systems with lightning. The majority of these convective ...
Variational pseudo multiple-Doppler analyses of a dryline utilizing very-high resolution mobile Doppler radar data.
(2004)
The dryline has long been associated with the development of severe thunderstorms in the southern Plains during the spring and early summer months. The propagation and structure of the dryline are closely tied to surface ...
