Numerical simulation of planetary boundary-layer evolution and mesoscale flow over irregular terrain under daytime heating conditions

Creator:

Ueyoshi, Kyozo

Abstract:

The influence of irregular terrain on the evolution of the daytime planetary boundary layer (PBL) and meso-β scale dry circulations is studied using two three-dimensional hydrostatic σ-coordinate models with different approaches for the PBL parameterizations; the 4-layer model uses the mixed-layer (bulk-layer) approach, while the 7-layer model adopts the eddy-diffusivity...
