GFDL-Type Typhoon Initialization in MM5
Abstract The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) hurricane initialization algorithm is implemented in the community fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5). This work is applied to the MM5-based Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System model (RDAPS), the Korea ...

Assessing Ozone-Related Health Impacts under a Changing Climate [PDF]
Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of ozone episodes in future summers in the United States. However, only recently have models become available that can assess the impact of climate change on O(3) concentrations and health effects ...

Implementation of the CIP as the Advection Solver in the MM5
Abstract A semi-Lagrangian-type advection scheme, cubic-interpolated pseudoparticle (CIP) method is implemented to the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5, version 3.4). A dimensional splitting CIP algorithm, with spatial third-order and temporal second-order accuracy, is derived to compute the advection in the MM5.

Physically consistent mesoscale model evaluation in complex terrain
This study introduces a novel approach for evaluating mesoscale atmospheric models in complex terrain by selecting physically consistent grid points and applying height‐based corrections. The method corrects for sensor height and terrain elevation differences between model and observations using a time‐varying lapse rate.

High resolution modelling of snow transport in complex terrain using downscaled MM5 wind fields [PDF]
Snow transport is one of the most dominant processes influencing the snow cover accumulation and ablation in high mountain environments. Hence, the spatial and temporal variability of the snow cover is significantly modified with respective consequences ...

Verification and Sensitivity Experiments for the WISP94 MM5 Forecasts
Abstract A statistical verification of real-time forecasts from the Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model version 5 (MM5) examines several model biases noted in numerical forecasts prepared for the Winter Icing and Storms Project’s 1994 field experiment.
