Intercomparison of oceanic and atmospheric forced and coupled mesoscale simulations

Irreducible imprecision in atmospheric and oceanic simulations.

Atmospheric and oceanic computational simulation models often successfully depict chaotic space-time patterns, flow phenomena, dynamical balances, and equilibrium distributions that mimic nature. This success is accomplished through necessary but non-unique choices for discrete algorithms, parameterizations, and coupled contributing processes that introduce structural instability into the model...

Adaptive Mesh Generator for Atmospheric and Oceanic Simulations – Amatos

This technical report documents the features of amatos and ideas behind those features. amatos is a mesh generation library that is designed for atmospheric and oceanic applications. It features adaptively refined triangular or tetrahedral meshes with polygonal or bitmapped boundary definitions. It supports finite element based methods for solving partial differential equations, has been used e...

Analysis of updraft velocity in mesoscale convective systems using satellite and WRF model simulations

Updraft vertical velocity is an important dynamical quantity which is strongly related to storm intensity and heavy precipitation. It can be calculated by direct observations, NWP model, and geostationary satellites which can provide the possibility of measuring this quantity with high temporal resolution. This research analyzed updraft velocity based on six derived parameters from INSAT3-D and...
