A Study of the Variability of the Coastal Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer
نویسنده
چکیده
The long term goals are: 1/ To understand the impact of complex coastal terrain and/or coastline orientation on the structure of the coastal marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL); 2/ To study the effect on the atmospheric forcing of the coastal ocean, by the the local flow induced by the coastal terrain, including possible feedback mechanisms.; 3/ To understand the internal turbulence structure of marine stratocumulus and how the presence of such clouds interact with the coastal flow.

متن کاملInvestigation of the atmospheric circulation anomalies associated with extreme rainfall events over the Coastal West Africa
This study investigates the atmospheric circulation associated with extreme rainfall events over the coastal West Africa. The rainfall data of this study were obtained from the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC), spanning from 1981 to 2010. The atmospheric datasets were also obtained from the ERA-Interim reanalysis. The study employed the Z-Index to categorize dry and wet years into...

Turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubic obstacles has been numerically investigated using large-eddy simulation. The simulations have been performed using high-performance computations with local cluster systems. The array of cubes are fully submerged in a simulated deep rough-wall atmospheric boundary-layer with high turbulence intensity characteristics of environmental turbulent fl...

Abstract In the present study, sampling and analysis of size-fractionated suspended particulate matter (SPM) in coastal waters of Chabahar Bay have been done for the first time. Sampling has been conducted on December 25 of 2018 from 5 stations in different locations of the Bay in order to evaluate the effects of natural and human activities on SPM mass and composition. With an overall average...
متن کاملCalibration method of numerical models in coastal sediment studies of Kuhmobarak area
Abstract Application of numerical models is useful in coastal sediment studies; however, it is essential to calibrate the models in an appropriate method. Empirical equations, historical satellite imagery and other coastal data and evidence are proposed for the models calibration in the vicinity of coastal indicators around the site of projects. In this study, coastal sediment process of K...
