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...

Abstract:: The numerical modeling of motions in the atmosphere's planetary boundary layer (PBL) is a challenging task. In general, the boundary layer interacts with both the overlying atmosphere and the underlying land or water surface in a complex manner. Random turbulence is also present in the PBL which precludes exact prediction...

Abstract:: The perturbation of a stably-stratified flow by irregular terrain is studied utilizing a seven-layer, hydrostatic, and potential enstrophy and energy conserving primitive equation model. The Island of Oahu, Hawaii, and the surrounding ocean area of 130 km x 100 km is chosen as the model topography. The domain is covered...

Abstract:: A baroclinic, convective mixed-layer was modeled, using water, in a laboratory convection tank identical to that used in the free convection study of Deardorff and Willis (1985). Baroclinicity and mean-flow shearing were achieved by tilting the tank by an angle of 1O⁰. The resulting mechanical-production rate of turbulence kinetic energy...
