Cessation of the 22-25 June 2006 Coastally Trapped Wind Reversal
Coastally trapped wind reversals (CTWRs) occur periodically in the marine boundary layer off the western coast of the United States and dramatically change the low-level wind regime and coastal weather. Southerly flow becomes established with the passage of a CTWR along with cooler temperatures and a low stratus deck in a narrow band along the coast. CTWRs can propagate northward along the coas...
متن کاملAircraft Observations of a Coastally Trapped Wind Reversal off the California Coast
During summertime months the low-level airflow over the eastern Pacific is dominated by the circulation associated with the Pacific High typically situated about 1000 km off the west coast of the United States. Subsidence above the Pacific High establishes a sharp temperature inversion at the top of the well-mixed marine boundary layer (MBL) with its depth increasing offshore to the west. A low...
متن کاملA Study of the Forcing of the 22–25 June 2006 Coastally Trapped Wind Reversal Based on Numerical Simulations and Aircraft Observations
Coastally trapped wind reversals (CTWRs) occur periodically in the lowest several hundred meters of the marine boundary layer west of California and disrupt the northerly flow that typically occurs during summer. South winds and coastal fog or low stratus accompany the CTWR, which propagates northward along the coast. A CTWR was observed off the California coast during late June 2006 that origi...
متن کاملMesoscale Eddy Formation and Shock Features Associated with a Coastally Trapped Disturbance
Synoptic maps for 28-29 August 2002 indicate typical near-surface northerly flow along coastal California, while Goes-10 animated satellite imagery from this period show a stratuscapped, coastally trapped disturbance (CTD) propagating northward against the prevailing flow. A pronounced hydraulic-jump-like (‘shock’) feature develops in the cloud field south of Cape Mendocino (CM) and angles line...
متن کاملA Scalable Fully Implicit Compressible Euler Solver for Mesoscale Nonhydrostatic Simulation of Atmospheric Flows
A fully implicit solver is developed for the mesoscale nonhydrostatic simulation of atmospheric flows governed by the compressible Euler equations. To spatially discretize the Euler equations on a height-based terrain-following mesh, we apply a cell-centered finite volume scheme, in which an AUSM-up method with a piecewise linear reconstruction is employed to achieve secondorder accuracy for th...
