Sensitivity of mesoscale model urban boundary layer meteorology to the scale of urban representation [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011Mesoscale modeling of the urban boundary layer requires careful parameterization of the surface due to its heterogeneous morphology. Model estimated meteorological quantities, including the surface energy budget and canopy layer variables, will respond ...

Simulation of surface meteorology at the Pathfinder and VL1 sites using a Mars mesoscale model [PDF]
, 2002[1] The Fifth-Generation Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) has been adapted to study circulations in the Martian atmosphere. The NASA Ames Mars general circulation model (GCM) provides initial and boundary conditions. The meteorology of this Mars MM5

Intercomparison of mesoscale meteorological models for precipitation forecasting [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2003Abstract. In the framework of the RAPHAEL EU project, a series of past heavy precipitation events has been simulated with different meteorological models. Rainfall hindcasts and forecasts have been produced by four models in use at various meteorological services or research centres of Italy, Canada, France and Switzerland.

Comparison of Soil Hydraulic Parameterizations for Mesoscale Meteorological Models
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 2005AbstractSoil water contents, calculated with seven soil hydraulic parameterizations, that is, soil hydraulic functions together with the corresponding parameter sets, are compared with observational data. The parameterizations include the Campbell/Clapp–Hornberger parameterization that is often used by meteorologists and the van Genuchten/Rawls ...

Mesoscale Verification Using Meteorological Composites
Monthly Weather Review, 2004Abstract Mesoscale models are often used to explicitly predict discrete, highly structured phenomena. Information regarding the ability of the model to predict events as coherent entities is thus a useful statement of performance. Observational constraints are a significant problem, though, as the shape, size, and intensity of any given event are often

A Quantitative Study of Satellite Winds for Mesoscale Meteorology
Monthly Weather Review, 1984Abstract Quantitative characteristics and utility of mesoscale satellite winds are investigated for a low-level high spatial resolution data set obtained from a sequence of 6 min interval synchronous meteorological satellite images of the central region of the United States on 20 May 1977.

Quality Assurance Procedures for Mesoscale Meteorological Data
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2010Abstract Mesoscale meteorological data present their own challenges and advantages during the quality assurance (QA) process because of their variability in both space and time. To ensure data quality, it is important to perform quality control at many different stages (e.g., sensor calibrations, automated tests, and manual assessment ...

Microphysical processes producing high ice water contents (HIWCs) in tropical convective clouds during the HAIC-HIWC field campaign: evaluation of simulations using bulk microphysical schemes [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021Regions with high ice water content (HIWC), composed of mainly small ice crystals, frequently occur over convective clouds in the tropics. Such regions can have median mass diameters (MMDs) <300 µm and equivalent radar reflectivities <20 dBZ.
