Observational & Modeling Studies in Support of the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment

چکیده
Our long-term goal is unchanged from last year. It is to learn how to predict the cloudiness, entrainment rate, and turbulent fluxes in the marine boundary layer under any and all large-scale conditions. In particular the effects of varying sea surface temperature, varying inversion strength, and varying mean winds must be included. The cloudiness types encompassed include fog, stratus, stratocumulus, and shallow cumulus clouds, with or without mesoscale organization.

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society rameterization schemes for use in general circulation models (GCMs) and (ii) to develop new parameterization schemes based on numerical data generated from large eddy simulations (LESs) or cloud resolving models (CRMs) (Browning 1993). While 3D LESs can explicitly resolve most of the turbulent eddies, CRMs, which resolve only large cloud elements,...
متن کاملSimulations of marine stratocumulus using a new microphysical parameterization scheme
A new microphysical scheme that uses lognormal basis functions to represent cloud and drizzle Ž . drop spectra is presented. The scheme is incorporated in a two-dimensional 2-D eddy-resolving model and applied to the simulation of a stratocumulus cloud deck based on a sounding from the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment. Firstly, the philosophy behind the design of the scheme is discu...

In this research, the application of multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural networks and support vector machine (SVM) for modeling the hydrodynamic behavior of Permeable Breakwaters with Porous Core has been investigated. For this purpose, experimental data have been used on the physical model to relate the reflection and transition coefficients of incident waves as the output parameters to the wid...
متن کاملLarge-eddy Simulations of Stratocumulus to Cumulus Transition
The vast fields of subtropical marine stratocumulus off the western coasts of continents are known for their persistent existence. In these regions, the large-scale subsidence associated with Hadley circulation provides favorable conditions for the formation of strong inversion, which separates moist and cool stratocumulustopped boundary layer (STBL) from dry and warm free atmosphere above. A q...
