A Thermal Plume Model for the Martian Convective Boundary Layer [PDF]

, 2013
The Martian Planetary Boundary Layer [PBL] is a crucial component of the Martian climate system. Global Climate Models [GCMs] and Mesoscale Models [MMs] lack the resolution to predict PBL mixing which is therefore parameterized.

Assessing high‐resolution numerical models and bottom‐boundary factors for a Mediterranean heavy precipitation event

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
State‐of‐the‐art, convection‐permitting NWP models reproduced the main features of the October 22–23, 2019 heavy precipitation event in Catalonia. However, slight configuration changes yielded varying streamflow responses and statistical performance, highlighting the challenge of simulating these events in Mediterranean medium‐sized basins ...

Raindrop Size Distributions and Rain Characteristics Observed by a PARSIVEL Disdrometer in Beijing, Northern China

Remote Sensing, 2019
Fourteen-month precipitation measurements from a second-generation PARSIVEL disdrometer deployed in Beijing, northern China, were analyzed to investigate the microphysical structure of raindrop size distribution and its implications on polarimetric radar

Sensitivity of flower trade‐wind cloud organisation to mesoscale atmospheric heterogeneities

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Trade‐wind cloud organisation is insensitive to dynamical and thermal heterogeneities but very sensitive to humidity mesoscale heterogeneities, especially in the cloud layer, where they form moist patches, and not in the sub‐cloud layer. Clouds and rain develop in moist patches, then cold pools develop progressively, initiating mesoscale circulations ...

Numerical studies of frontal dynamics [PDF]

Efforts concentrated on the development of a two dimensional primitive equation (PE) model of frontogenesis that simultaneously incorporates the frontagenetical mechanisms of confluence and horizontal shear.

The characteristics of squall lines in the Southeast Asia region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Squall lines over the Maritime Continent were analysed using 20 years of IMERG GPM data and classified into four regional clusters. Significant regional differences were found in their size, intensity, lifespan, and propagation. Nighttime squall lines are primarily driven by the convergence of opposing offshore flows and the convergence of monsoonal ...

Hydrological and meteorological experimentation at the mesoscale

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985
For the past few years, several sectors of the U.S. meteorological community have been actively planning and organizing the National STORM Program. STORM is an acronym for Stormscale Operational and Research Meteorology, and its first major project, called STORM‐Central, will focus on the central third of the United States [Interagency Team for STORM ...

Modulation of North Atlantic atmospheric rivers by the Gulf Stream

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Gulf Stream ocean variability plays a key role in modulating atmospheric river (AR) activity over the North Atlantic during winter and spring at monthly time‐scales. Increased ocean heat transport and mesoscale activity in the Gulf Stream are linked to northward shifts in ARs, while stronger surface heat fluxes drive ARs southward.

Parameter investigation for urban surface‐energy balance: A large‐eddy simulation study

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Large eddy simulation modelling is used to investigate the variation in surface‐energy balance (SEB) across an ensemble of morphometrically identical urban geometries. The geometries have the same plan‐area fraction, vegetated fraction, and frontal‐area index, but are unique in terms of building and green‐space layout.
