On the Role of Sloping Terrain in the Forcing of the Great Plains Low-Level Jet
The summertime Great Plains low-level jet (LLJ) has been the subject of numerous investigations during the past several decades. Characteristics of the LLJ include nighttime development of a pronounced wind maximum of typically 15–20 m s at levels 300–800 m above the surface and a clockwise rotation of the wind maximum during the course of the night. Maximum frequency of occurrence of the LLJ i...

متن کاملFlood Modeling in the Coastal Plains and Mountains: Analysis of Terrain Resolution
The number of flood disasters has increased worldwide in recent decades. Identifying the optimal resolution or scale at which to represent digital terrain models DTMs is critical in order to improve our ability to accurately and efficiently model floods. Few studies have attempted to compare flood modeling results using different resolutions of DTMs in divergent environments. In this study floo...
متن کاملExact Solutions for Wind-Driven Coastal Upwelling and Downwelling over Sloping Bathymetry
The dynamics of wind-driven coastal upwelling and downwelling are studied using a simplified dynamical model. Exact solutions are examined as a function of time and over a family of sloping topographies. Assumptions in the two-dimensional model include a frictionless ocean interior below the surface Ekman layer, and no alongshore dependence of the variables; however, dependence in the cross-sho...
متن کاملEffective coastal boundary conditions for tsunami wave run-up over sloping bathymetry
An effective boundary condition (EBC) is introduced as a novel technique for predicting tsunami wave runup along the coast, and offshore wave reflections. Numerical modeling of tsunami propagation in the coastal zone has been a daunting task, since high accuracy is needed to capture aspects of wave propagation in the shallower areas. For example, there are complicated interactions between incom...
