Roger A. Pielke,William R. Cotton,Robert L. Walko,Craig J. Tremback,W. A. Lyons,Lewis D. Grasso,Melville E. Nicholls,M. D. Moran,Douglas A. Wesley,T. J. Lee,J. H. Copeland +10 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Look at the Problem of Tropical Cyclones in Vertical Shear Flow: Vortex Resiliency
TL;DR: In this paper, a new paradigm for the resiliency of tropical cyclone (TC) vortices in vertical shear flow is presented, where it is argued that the axisymmetric component of the diabatically driven secondary circulation of the TC is not directly responsible for maintaining the vertical alignment of the vortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonhydrostatic, Three-Dimensional Perturbations to Balanced, Hurricane-Like Vortices. Part II: Symmetric Response and Nonlinear Simulations
David S. Nolan,Lewis D. Grasso +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the second part of a study on the dynamics of nonhydrostatic perturbations to dry, balanced, atmospheric vortices modeled after tropical cyclones was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Wavenumber-One Instability and Trochoidal Motion of Hurricane-like Vortices
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of an instability that occurs in inviscid, axisymmetric, two-dimensional vortices possessing a low-vorticity core surrounded by a high vorticity annulus was studied.
Journal Article
The differentiation between grid spacing and resolution and their application to numerical modeling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that grid spacing and resolution should not be interchangably used in cloud and mesoscale modeling community, and suggest that the grid spacing should be independent of the resolution.
