Mesoscale Circulations Forced by Differential Terrain Heating
Roger A. Pielke,Moti Segal +1 more
TL;DR: The forcing of mesoscale systems by horizontal gradients of surface heating is conceptually one of the most straightforward physical processes in the atmosphere and it is surprising that such processes are not exploited more by weather forecasters to provide improved predictions of local weather as discussed by the authors.

Observations of sea-breeze fronts near the shoreline
TL;DR: In this paper, an observational study of sea-breeze fronts as they cross a shoreline is presented, where the vertical wind component, w, is found to be of the order of 1.0-1.5 ms−1 in the front zone of the sharp front but only 5 as large in the weaker front.

Mesoscale Numerical Modeling
TL;DR: In this paper, a mesoscale numerical modeling for the study of atmosphere is presented, which is defined as having a temporal and a horizontal spatial scale smaller than the conventional rawinsonde network, but significantly larger than individual cumulus clouds.

Interaction of Urban Heat Island Effects and Land-Sea Breezes during a New York City Heat Event
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of urban heat islands are investigated through investigation of a heat event in the highly complex coastal environment of New York City (NYC) by using the W...

A study of the breeze circulation during summer and fall 2008 in Calabria, Italy
TL;DR: In this article, a study of the characteristics and importance of breezes at a coastal site in the Central Mediterranean Basin is presented, which is located on the west coast of the Peninsular Calabria Region at the southern tip of Italy.

Photosynthesis and Fish Production in the Sea
TL;DR: The two sets of variables primary production and the associated food chain dynamics may act additively to produce differences in fish production which are far more pronounced and dramatic than the observed variability of the individual causative factors.

A Three-Dimensional Numerical Model of the Sea Breezes Over South Florida
TL;DR: In this paper, an eight-level three-dimensional primitive equation model was used to describe the initiation and evolution of sea-breeze convergence patterns over south Florida as a function of the surface heat and momentum fluxes and of the large-scale synoptic forcing.

Numerical Simulations of the Ocean's Nonlinear, Baroclinic Response to Translating hurricanes
Simon W. Chang,Richard A. Anthes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an asymmetric nonlinear ocean model is employed to investigate the oceanic response to moving hurricanes and the results show that the ocean's response to a symmetric storm is stronger on the right of the storm track.

Wind-Driven Circulation in the Chesapeake Bay, Winter, 1975
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the Chesapeake Bay from one-month current records at 50 and 200 km from the entrance and found that the monthly mean flow was basically a two-layered circulation; in addition, there were large wind-driven velocity fluctuations at several-day time scales.

A Mesoseale Numerical Model of Lake-Fffect Storms
TL;DR: In this paper, the atmospheric structure upwind of the Great takes during arctic air outbreaks is represented by three layers: a lower constant flux layer in contact with the ground, a well-mixed planetary boundary layer surmounted by an inversion, and a deep stratum of overlying stable air.
