Mesoscale Atmospheric Circulation and Diffusion Characteristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
Constant volume superpressure pillow balloons were flown over a mountain valley downwind from a sharp ridge line. Balloon trajectories revealed and atmospheric soundings confirmed a persistent turbulently mixed adiabatic layer over the valley at approximately ridge top height except in the immediate lee of the ridge where strong vertical motions were ...

Characteristics of mesoscale vortices over China in 2015

open access: yesJournal of Meteorological Research, 2017
Mesoscale vortices, which appear at middle and lower levels of rainstorms, are cyclonic circulations with a size ranging from tens of kilometers to several hundred kilometers. Mesoscale vortices often have close relationships with convective activities. The ERA-Interim dataset and an automatic vortex-searching method were used to identify the mesoscale

Idealised simulations of cyclones with robust symmetrically-unstable sting jets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Idealised simulations of Shapiro-Keyser cyclones developing a sting jet (SJ) are presented. Thanks to an improved and accurate implementation of thermal wind balance in the initial state, it has been possible to use more realistic environments than in ...

Estimation of Nearshore Wind Conditions Using Onshore Observation Data with Computational Fluid Dynamic and Mesoscale Models

open access: yesResources, 2022
This study aimed to establish numerical models to replicate wind conditions for nearshore waters, sensitive to onshore topography, and to compare the characteristics of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) and mesoscale models.

Combination of techniques to quantify the distribution of bacteria in their soil microhabitats at different spatial scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
To address a number of issues of great societal concern at the moment, like the sequestration of carbon, information is direly needed about interactions between soil architecture and microbial dynamics.

The major research advance of rainstorm and heavy precipitation regarding the mesoscale weather dynamics in south of Yangtze-Huaihe River basin

open access: yes暴雨灾害, 2019
On the basis of many mesoscale weather experiments after the founding of new China. The study of rainstorms and heavy precipitation regarding the mesoscale weather dynamics has made much achievement in the south of Yangtze-Huaihe River basin.

Gravity Wave Diagnostics and Characteristics in Mesoscale Fields

open access: yesJournal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2015
Abstract As numerical models of complex atmospheric flows increase their quality and resolution, it becomes valuable to isolate and quantify the embedded resolved gravity waves. The authors propose a spatial filtering method combined with a selection of quadratic diagnostic quantities such as heat, momentum, and energy fluxes to do this.

Occurrence and characteristics of mesoscale eddies in the tropical northeastern Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science, 2015
Abstract. Coherent mesoscale features (referred to here as eddies) in the tropical northeastern Atlantic Ocean (between 12–22° N and 15–26° W) are examined and characterized. The eddies' surface signatures are investigated using 19 years of satellite-derived sea level anomaly (SLA) data.

Mechanisms producing different precipitation patterns over north‐eastern Italy: insights from HyMeX‐SOP1 and previous events [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
During the first HyMeX Special Observation Period (SOP1) field campaign, the target site of north‐eastern Italy (NEI) experienced a large amount of precipitation, locally exceeding the climatological values and distributed among several heavy‐rainfall ...
