Sea-breeze-initiated convection and precipitation have been investigated along the east coast of India during the Indian southwest monsoon season. Seabreeze circulation was observed on approximately 70–80% of days during the summer months (June–August) along the Chennai coast. Average sea-breeze wind speeds are greater at rural locations than in the urban region of Chennai. Sea-breeze circulati...

Abstract The Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model is used to simulate atmospheric circulation during the summer season in a coastal region of central Italy, including city Rome. time series surface air temperature, wind speed, direction are compared with situ observations urban Rome its rural surroundings. Moreover, vertical profiles sodar measurements. To improve WRF model’s ability repro...

The mesoscale circulation along the west shore of Spitsbergen is largely controlled by difference in temperature between glaciers and surface sea temperatures. We describe how effect influences atmospheric patterns. conducted research was based on reanalysis data, model measurements; wind data from different sources scales were compared analysed. discuss situations wherein can be identified ana...

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 ...

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...

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...
