Aerosol-cloud-land surface interactions within tropical sea breeze convection
In this study, the influence of aerosols, surface roughness length, soil moisture, and synergistic interactions among these factors on tropical convective rainfall focused along a sea breeze front are explored within idealized cloud-resolving modeling simulations using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS). The idealized RAMS domain setup is representative of the coastal Cameroon rain...
متن کاملMicroclimate land surface temperatures across urban land use/ land cover forms
Urbanization brings biophysical changes in the composition of the landscape. Such change has an impact on the thermal environment locally. The urban mosaic of land use and land cover is thus characteristically composed of local climate zones. The spatial variation in the land surface temperature across specific zone is studied for Bhopal city. The objective of the study was to understand how th...
متن کاملGradient-based edge detection and feature classification of sea-surface images of the Southern California Bight
An edge detection algorithm was developed that is capable of objectively detecting significant edges in remotely sensed images of the surface ocean. The algorithm utilizes a gradient-based edge detector that is less sensitive to noise in the input image than previously used detectors and has the ability to detect edges at different length scales. The algorithm was used to provide a statistical ...
متن کاملMultiple Stressors at the Land-Sea Interface: Cyanotoxins at the Land-Sea Interface in the Southern California Bight
Blooms of toxic cyanobacteria in freshwater ecosystems have received considerable attention in recent years, but their occurrence and potential importance at the land-sea interface has not been widely recognized. Here we present the results of a survey of discrete samples conducted in more than fifty brackish water sites along the coastline of southern California. Our objectives were to charact...
متن کاملTransport of Sulfur Oxides within the Los Angeles Sea Breeze/land Breeze Circulation System
The sea breeze/land breeze circulation system in the Los Angeles area results in transport of pollutants seaward at night followed by return of aged material inland the next day. This characteristic wind reversal pattern both increases the retention time available for the oxidation of S02 to for m sulfates and causes individual air parcels to make multiple passes over large coastal emissions so...
