Mm5 Wintertime Simulations of the Antarctic Boundary-layer Wind Forcing

Recent trends in Antarctic snow accumulation from Polar MM5 simulations.

Polar MM5, a mesoscale atmospheric model optimized for use over polar ice sheets, is employed to simulate Antarctic accumulation in recent decades. Two sets of simulations, each with different initial and boundary conditions, are evaluated for the 17yr period spanning 1985-2001. The initial and boundary conditions for the two sets of runs are provided by the (i) European Centre for Medium-Range...

Evaluation of MM5 Simulations With HTSVS With and Without Inclusion of Soil-Frost Parameterization

Abstract Permafrost and seasonally frozen ground are important surface features in highlatitudes. Because of this, a soil-frost parameterization was added to the Penn State University/NCAR mesoscale meteorological model MM5 in combination with the well validated hydro-thermodynamic soil vegetation scheme HTSVS, which takes into account among other things soil freezing and thawing. Reanalysis of...

Lattice numerical simulations of hydraulic fractures interacting with oblique natural interfaces

The hydraulic fracturing propagation is strongly influenced by the existence of natural fractures. This is a very important factor in hydraulic fracturing operations in unconventional reservoirs. Various studies have been done to consider the effect of different parameters such as stress anisotropy, toughness, angle of approach and fluid properties on interaction mechanisms including crossing, ...
