In general, convection refers to the transport of some property by fluid movement, most often
with reference to heat transport. As such, it is one of the three main processes by which heat …

Dynamical and convective instabilities are two mechanisms that contribute significantly to
the dissipation of larger‐scale motions and the generation of turbulence in the middle …

Mesoscale Meteorology in Mid-Latitudes presents the dynamics of mesoscale
meteorological phenomena in a highly accessible, student-friendly manner. The book's clear …

Publisher Summary The chapter reviews the meteorological phenomena that are associated
with topography. The study of airflow past mountains is complicated by the wide range of …

Synoptic meteorology, the study of large-scale weather systems and forecasting using
observation, and dynamic meteorology, the study of the laws of physics involved in air …

A completely new nonhydrostatic model system known as the Advanced Regional
Prediction System (ARPS) has been developed in recent years at the Center for Analysis …

Systematic westerly biases in the northern hemisphere wintertime flow of the Meteorological
Office 15‐layer operational model and 11‐layer general circulation model are described …

In an effort to enhance the reader's physical understanding, this chapter begins with a
discussion of fundamental concepts including parcel oscillations in a stable atmosphere …

A numerical model is developed for simulating the flow of stably stratified nonrotating air
over finite-amplitude, two-dimensional mountain ranges. Special attention is paid to …
