An overview is given of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over both continental and
ocean surfaces, mainly from observational and modelling perspectives. Much is known …

This report presents the details of the governing equations, physical parameterizations, and
numerical algorithms defining the version of the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model …

This book provides an introduction to the subject of turbulence modelling in a form easy to
understand for anybody with a basic background in fluid mechanics, and it summarizes the …

This report presents the details of the governing equations, physical parameterizations, and
numerical algorithms defining the version of the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model …

Lakes can influence regional climate, yet most general circulation models have, at best,
simple and largely untested representations of lakes. We developed the Lake, Ice, Snow …

The heated boundary layer for DAY 33 of the Wangara data of southeast Australia (Clarke et
al., 1971) is studied numerically with a three-dimensional model using 64000 grid points …

Approaches for recreating hurricane surface winds in relation to ocean wave, surge, and
current modeling are reviewed. A discrete numerical wind field model, based on original …

The height h τ of the Ekman turbulent boundary layer determined by the momentum flux
profile is estimated with the aid of considerations of similarity and an analysis of the dynamic …

Over the last 100 years, boundary layer meteorology grew from the subject of mostly near-
surface observations to a field encompassing diverse atmospheric boundary layers (ABLs) …

A new radar imaging model of ocean current features is proposed. The simulated
normalized radar cross section (NRCS) takes into account scattering from “regular” surfaces …
