Download or read book Mesoscale Meteorological Modeling written by Roger A. Pielke and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter provides a framework to assess the quantitative accuracy of numerical computational tools that are used to model advection, subgrid-scale fluxes, the pressure gradient force, and the Coriolis effect. Exact solutions are presented for linear forms of these terms. Nonlinear effects are also discussed including the concept of aliasing in which information is transferred between spatial scales. Among the results, it is shown that two grid increments are required to minimally resolve a modeled field with at least four increments in each spatial direction (and probably more) required to adequately resolve the modeled variables.

The tank model is used to illustrate how these budgets can be applied for assessing the accuracy in the computation of the mass and energy budgets.

This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, as the outcome of the COST-728/NetFAM workshop, focuses on the following main topics: 1) on-line coupled meteorology-chemistry modelling with two-way feedbacks, 2) off-line coupled modelling and interfaces, 3) validation and case studies including air quality related episodes, and 4) integration of atmospheric chemical transport (ACT) models with numerical weather prediction (NWP). This book is one of the first attempts to give an overall look on such integrated meso-meteorology and chemistry modelling approach. It reviews the current situation with the on-line and off-line coupling of mesoscale meteorological and ACT models worldwide as well as discusses advantages and shortcomings, best practices, and gives recommendations for on-line and off-line coupling of NWP and ACT models, implementation strategy for different feedback mechanisms, direct and indirect effects of aerosols and advanced interfaces between both types of models. The book is oriented towards numerical weather prediction and air quality modelling communities.
