The evolution of the mesoscale flow and precipitation distribution are investigated for a small mesoscale convective system (MCS) that evolved in a nearly barotropic environment exhibiting moderate instability and weak wind shear. Observations primarily from a single Doppler radar detail the growth of the MCS from the merger of several clusters and lines of vigorous convective cells into a matu...

Synoptic maps for 28-29 August 2002 indicate typical near-surface northerly flow along coastal California, while Goes-10 animated satellite imagery from this period show a stratuscapped, coastally trapped disturbance (CTD) propagating northward against the prevailing flow. A pronounced hydraulic-jump-like (‘shock’) feature develops in the cloud field south of Cape Mendocino (CM) and angles line...

Atomistic simulations of cementitious material can enrich our understanding of its structural and mechanical properties, whereas current computational capacities restrict the investigation length scale within 10 nm. In this context, coarse-grained simulations can translate the information from nanoscale to mesoscale, thus bridging the multi-scale investigations. Here, we develop a coarse-graine...

Hydrological models are the simplified, conceptual and mathematical description of rainfall, runoff, oceans, rivers, groundwater, snow etc. Rainfall-runoff modeling in the broader sense a hydrological, mathematical model gives a detailed account of Rainfall-Runoff relationships of a catchment area or watershed. Conversion of rainfall into runoff takes place in the modelling. There are many meth...

1. INTRODUCTION Parallel computing promises signiicant improvements in both the raw speed and cost performance of mesoscale atmospheric models. On distributed-memory massively parallel computers available today, the performance of a mesoscale model will exceed that of conventional supercom-puters; on the teraaops machines expected within the next ve years, performance will increase by several o...

Particulate matter and photo-oxidant processes in the Eastern Mediterranean have been studied using the UAM-AERO mesoscale air quality model in conjunction with the NILU-CTM regional model. Meteorological data were obtained from the RAMS prognostic meteorological model. The modeling domain includes the eastern Mediterranean area between the Greek mainland and the island of Crete. The modeling s...

Departures from axisymmetric balance dynamics are quantified during a case of secondary eyewall formation. The case occurred in a three-dimensional mesoscale convection-permitting numerical simulation of a tropical cyclone, integrated from an initial weak mesoscale vortex in an idealized quiescent environment. The simulation exhibits a canonical eyewall replacement cycle. Departures from balanc...

Observations suggest that the landscape of marine phytoplankton assemblage might be strongly heterogeneous at the dynamical mesoscale and submesoscale (10-100 km, days to months), with potential consequences in terms of global diversity and carbon export. But these variations are not well documented as synoptic taxonomic data are difficult to acquire. Here, we examine how phytoplankton assembla...
