TLDR
In this paper, a numerical sea breeze model was used to assist offshore forecasts during the America's Cup race series of 1986-1987, and the model provided a detailed insight into the extent to which such a model may assist the forecasting process the parameterizations necessary and the factors that limit its accuracy.Abstract:
During the America's Cup race series of 1986–1987, a numerical sea breeze model was used to assist offshore forecasts. The exercise has provided a detailed insight into the extent to which such a model may assist the forecasting process the parameterizations necessary, and the factors that limit its accuracy. It also has demonstrated some of the factors controlling the behavior of the Western Australian sea breeze.read more

Buoyancy Effects in Fluids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce linear internal waves and herar flows in a stratified fluid and double-diffusive convection in stably stratified fluids, and show that the shear flows can produce turbulence.

Efficient prediction of ground surface temperature and moisture, with inclusion of a layer of vegetation
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient one-layer foliage parameterization was developed that extends continuously from the case of no shielding of the ground by vegetation to complete shielding, including influences of both ground and foliage albedos and emissivities, net leaf area index, stomatal resistance, retained water on the foliage, and several other considerations.

Long‐wave radiation from clear skies
TL;DR: In this paper, a new series of measurements over wider ranges of temperature and humidity confirms this, with the same value for the correlation between R and σ T4, the regression equation being: R = −17·195 σT4 (milliwatt cm−, T °K).

Profile relationships: The log-linear range, and extension to strong stability
TL;DR: In this paper, the diabatic mean profile forms in the surface layer is studied, by applying analysis methods having high resolving power to data from O'Neill, U.S.A. and from Kerang and Hay, Australia.
