The Fresh Breeze program execution model was designed for easy, reliable and massively scalable parallel performance. The model achieves these goals by combining a radical memory model with efficient fine-grain parallelsim and managing both in hardware. This presents a unique opportunity for studying program execution in a system whose memory behavior is not well understood. In this thesis, I s...

The sea-land breeze (SLB) occurs regularly in coastal areas and influences the local climate atmospheric environment. Fifteen-year observations (2005–2019) from urban, coastal, marine stations were collected to examine trend number of SLB days (SLBD) Tianjin, a megacity China. SLBD Tianjin generally showed decreasing with an annual average decline rate 3.89%. land speed decreased by 0.20 m·s−1 ...

We study the relative importance of sea-land and mountain-valley thermal contrasts in determining the development of thermally forced mesoscale circulations (TFMCs) over a mountainous peninsula. We ®rst analyse the energetics of the problem, and using this theory, we interprete the numerical simulations over Calabria, a mountainous peninsula in southern Italy. The CSU 3-D nonlinear numerical mo...
