An observational study of the wind fields associated with GATE cloud clusters

Creator:

Tollerud, Edward I.

Abstract:

The wind and thermodynamic fields associated with eastern Atlantic cloud clusters are studied using radiosonde data from the Global Atmospheric Research Program Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE). These data are from the gridded set of winds prepared by Dr. Katsuyuki Ooyama (AOML-NOAA) and Dr. Jan-Hwa Chu (SSEC, University of Wisconsin, Madison)...

Subseasonal variability in a two-level atmospheric general circulation model

Creator:

Kushnir, Yochanan

Abstract:

The dynamical processes which maintain atmospheric disturbances in regions of strong wintertime variability of the northern hemisphere are examined using data from a GCM simulation. Time series of the dependent variables and diabatic heating components from 10 Northern Hemisphere winters simulated by the Oregon State University two-level GCM are used....

A numerical study of coastal stratus cloud in a two-dimensional meso-scale model

Creator:

Lee, Tae Young

Abstract:

A two-dimensional numerical mesoscale model, which ic1udes radiative and turbulent transfers, has been constructed to study the formation, development and dissipation of coastal stratus cloud under an inversion. In the model, the delta-Eddington and emissivity approximations are used for the solar and thermal radiative transfers, respectively. K-theory parameterization is adopted...
