  • Numerical analysis of a thermotopographically-induced mesoscale circulation in a mountain basin using a non-hydrostatic model

    Authors
    Andy Sturman, Peyman Zawar-Reza
    Journal
    Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics
    Year
    2006
    The boundary-layer wind field during weak synoptic conditions is largely controlled by the nature of the landscape. Mesoscale (sub-synoptic) circulations result from horizontal gradients of sensible h... REGISTER NOW TO SEE MORE

  • Two-dimensional numerical analysis of a thermally generated mesoscale wind system observed in the Mackenzie Basin, New Zealand

    2006
    A mesoscale numerical model was used to perform two-dimensional numerical simulations of a thermally driven circulation, known as the Canterbury Plains Breeze, to examine the effect of key physical me... REGISTER NOW TO SEE MORE

  • The surface wind field during winter smog nights in Christchurch and coastal Canterbury, New Zealand

    2004
    In Christchurch and other Canterbury towns on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, poor dispersion conditions and high emissions of particulate matter and carbon monoxide regularly lead to th... REGISTER NOW TO SEE MORE

  • A numerical study on the diurnal variation of low-level wind in the lee of a two-dimensional mountain

    Authors
