Validation of 3D finite element model for free-surface flow is conducted using a high quality and high spatial resolution data set. The present research finds its motivation in the increasing need for efficient management of geophysical flows such as estuaries (multiphase fluid flow) or natural rivers with the complicated channel geometry (e.g. strong channel curvature). A numerical solution is...

The paper specifies the design, implementation, and test of a new parallel algorithm that interleaves Marching Cubes and a variant of vertex clustering without generating big intermediary meshes, contrary to other approaches. A userprovided clustering level defines the size of the clusters, and thus, the degree of reduction. The challenge was to enable distributed and parallel mesh generation a...

A significant part of clouds in the tropics appears over tropopause due to intense convections and situ condensation activity. These tropical layer (TTL) not only play an important role radiation budget tropics, but also water vapor other chemical material transport from troposphere stratosphere. This study quantifies analyzes properties TTL based on spaceborne active observations, which provid...

The long-term goal of this project is to developing a seamless weather and climate prediction system that has capability to predict accurately both weather phenomena such as tropical cyclones (TC) and other extreme weather events and longer climate-scale phenomena such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Organized moist convections in the tropical...
