Observed and WRF-Simulated Low-Level Winds in a High-Ozone Episode during the Central California Ozone Study
TL;DR: In this article, a case study was carried out for the 29 July-3 August 2000 episode of the Central California Ozone Study (CCOS), a typical summertime high-ozone event in the Central Valley of California.
Journal ArticleDOI
The climatology of sea breezes on Sardinia
TL;DR: A set of criteria based on the diurnal reversal of wind direction, and the thermal gradient necessary to drive the circulation, is used to identify sea breeze days Statistics are presented that describe the occurrence, duration and strength of the sea breezes as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the dynamics of hodograph rotation in the sea breezes of Attica, Greece
Douw G. Steyn,George Kallos +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the diurnal evolution of the sea breeze hodograph over the Attic Peninsula was studied using a three-dimensional numerical mesoscale model with fully nonlinear friction parameterization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rotation of sea/land breezes along the northeastern Adriatic coast
TL;DR: In this article, the diurnal evolution of the sea/land breeze hodographs over the northeastern Adriatic coast has been examined for several episodes, each lasting a few days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of secondary circulations with the summer monsoon and diurnal rainfall over Hong Kong
TL;DR: A complete yearly record (1988) of surface measurements is used to examine the atmospheric diurnal secondary circulations over the entire area of Hong Kong in conjunction with spatial and temporal variations of surface temperature, wind speed and rainfall as discussed by the authors.

Journal ArticleDOI
A Comparison of Interpolation Methods for Sparse Data: Application to Wind and Concentration Fields
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared three data sets: an idealized concentration distribution to which the exact solution is known, a potential flow field, and surface ozone concentrations measured in the Los Angeles Basin on a particular day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comments on the sea-breeze circulation
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that in a model taking friction into account the intensity of the sea breeze begins to decrease considerably earlier, in better agreement with the observations, which can be explained as an effect of the Coriolis force.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Rotation Rate of the Direction of Sea and Land Breezes
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the rate of local turning of the direction of sea and land breezes is far from uniform over the diurnal cycle and a theoretical analysis of the problem was then undertaken for a two-dimensional sea-and land breeze model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-Clockwise Rotation of the Wind Hodograph. Part I: Theoretical Study
M. Kusuda,Pinhas Alpert +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the reasons for the anti-clockwise rotation of the wind hodograph in the boundary layer of the Southern Hemisphere and showed that the pressure-gradient term is usually the leading one, and the advection term is very small.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine Air Penetration in Central California
TL;DR: In this paper, three-dimensional analysis shows the sea-breeze front to be primarily a wind shift line in which the thermal discontinuity lags behind the shear line and becomes quasi-stationary in the afternoon.
