Cities are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather episodes, which are expected to
increase with climate change. Cities also influence their own local climate, for example …

The exchange of heat, momentum, and mass in the atmosphere over mountainous terrain is
controlled by synoptic-scale dynamics, thermally driven mesoscale circulations, and …

This review paper explores the field of mesoscale to microscale modeling over complex
terrain as it traverses multiple so-called gray zones. In an attempt to bridge the gap between …

Emerging application areas such as air pollution in megacities, wind energy, urban security,
and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles have intensified scientific and societal interest in …

A parallel computational method for simulating fluid–structure interaction problems involving
large, geometrically nonlinear deformations of thin shell structures is presented and …

The primary goal of the Second Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP2) is to advance
the state-of-the-art of wind energy forecasting in complex terrain. To achieve this goal, a …

Over the last 100 years, boundary layer meteorology grew from the subject of mostly near-
surface observations to a field encompassing diverse atmospheric boundary layers (ABLs) …

Computational fluid dynamics, commonly known by the acronym 'CFD', continues to have
significant expansion. There are many software packages available that solve fluid flow …

Coupling of the earth's surface with the atmosphere is achieved through an exchange of
momentum, energy, and mass in the atmospheric boundary layer. In mountainous terrain …

We validate a new high-resolution (3 km) numerical mesoscale weather simulation for
offshore wind power purposes for the time period 2004–2016 for the North Sea and the …
