TL;DR: In this paper, a range of applications of the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS), a comprehensive mesoscale meterological modeling system, are discussed, including large eddy simulations (LES) and simulations of thunderstorms, cumulus fields, mesoscales, convective systems, mid-latitude cirrus clouds, winter storms, mechanically and thermally-forced meso-scale systems, and mesoscopic atmospheric disperision.

TL;DR: An overview of the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) is presented in this paper, where the authors focus on new developments in the RAMS physics and computational algorithms since 1992 and summarize some of the recent applications of RAMS that includes synoptic-scale weather systems and climate studies, to small-scale research using RAMS configured as a large eddy simulation model or to even flow around urban buildings.

TL;DR: In this article, the formulation and implementation of LEAF-2, the Land Ecosystem-Atmosphere Feedback model, which comprises the representation of land surface processes in the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS), is described.

TL;DR: A generalized forward-in-time upstream advective operator following the methodology of Crowley is developed and a new flux form is derived which does reduce to the Advective form under the conditions of constant velocity and grid spacing.

TL;DR: In this paper, a composite analysis technique is used to investigate the evolution of mesoscale features of convective complexes (MCCs), and the early stage of the MCC lifecycle is characterized by convergence, vertical motion and heating being centered in the lower troposphere.
