The 2018 Camp Fire: Meteorological Analysis Using In Situ Observations and Numerical Simulations
Atmosphere, 2019 The November 2018 Camp Fire quickly became the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. In this case study, we investigate the contribution of meteorological conditions and, in particular, a downslope windstorm that occurred during ...

Inclusion of Surface Topography into the Vector Vorticity Equation Model (VVM)
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2011 Surface topography is implemented into the vector vorticity equation model with a block representation of mountains in the height coordinate. The kinematic boundary conditions at the surface are satisfied with a proper computational boundary condition ...

Possible observation of horizontal roll vortices over the Adriatic Sea during bora
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2015 We report a possible occurrence of horizontal roll vortices over the Adriatic Sea during the bora wind. The National Center for Atmospheric Research Electra aircraft measured the turbulence structure above the Adriatic on 07 November 1999 during the ...
