We investigate the mesoscale dynamics of the mistral through the wind profiler observations of the MAP (autumn 1999) and ESCOMPTE (summer 2001) field campaigns. We show that the mistral wind field can dramatically change on a time scale less than 3 hours. Transitions from a deep to a shallow mistral are often observed at any season when the lower layers are stable. The variability, mainly attributed in summer to the mistral/land–sea breeze interactions on a 10-km scale, is highlighted by observations from the wind profiler network set up during ESCOMPTE. The interpretations of the dynamical mistral structure are performed through comparisons with existing basic theories. The linear theory of R. B. Smith [Advances in Geophysics, Vol. 31, 1989, Academic Press, 1–41] and the shallow water theory [Schär, C. and Smith, R. B.: 1993a, J. Atmos. Sci. 50, 1373–1400] give some complementary explanations for the deep-to-shallow transition especially for the MAP mistral event. The wave breaking process induces a low-level jet (LLJ) downstream of the Alps that degenerates into a mountain wake, which in turn provokes the cessation of the mistral downstream of the Alps. Both theories indicate that the flow splits around the Alps and results in a persistent LLJ at the exit of the Rhône valley. The LLJ is strengthened by the channelling effect of the Rhône valley that is more efficient for north-easterly than northerly upstream winds despite the north–south valley axis. Summer moderate and weak mistral episodes are influenced by land–sea breezes and convection over land that induce a very complex interaction that cannot be accurately described by the previous theories. 相似文献

Summary This paper investigates the characteristics of channelled airflow in the vicinity of a junction of three idealized valleys
(one valley carrying the incoming flow and two tributaries carrying the outflow), using a two-dimensional single-layer shallow
water model. Particular attention is given to the flow splitting occurring at the junction. Nondimensionalized, the model
depends on the valley geometry, the Reynolds number, which is related to the eddy viscosity, and on the difference of the
hydrostatic pressure imposed at the exit of the tributaries. At the spatial scale considered in this study, the Rossby number
relating the inertial and Coriolis forces is always larger than 1, implying that the effect of earth rotation can be neglected
to a first approximation.
The analysis of the flow structure within the three valleys as well as the calculation of the split ratio (fraction of the
air flow diverted into one of the two downstream valleys with respect to the total mass flux in the upstream valley) show
that (i) the flow pattern depends strongly on the Reynolds number while the split ratio is comparatively insensitive; (ii)
the valley geometry and the difference between the upstream and downstream hydrostatic pressures affect the flow pattern,
the location of the split point and the split ratio; (iii) the relative contribution of flow deflection by the sidewalls and
the blocking/splitting mechanism differs between the settings of a “Y-shape” valley and a “T-shape” valley.
Quantitative comparison of the present results with numerical simulations of realistic cases and with observations collected
in the region of the Rhine and Seez valleys (Switzerland) (“Y-shape” valley) and in the region of the Inn and Wipp valleys
(Austria) (“T-shape” valley) during the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP) field experiment shows good agreement provided that
the normalized valley depth NΔH/Uu significantly exceeds 1, i.e., when “flow around” is expected. A structural disagreement between the idealized simulations
and the observed wind field is found only when NΔH/Uu ≃ 1, that is, in the “flow over” regime. This shows that the dimensionless valley depth
is indeed a good indicator for flow splitting, implying that the stratification is a key player in reality. 相似文献

Impact of Terrain Heterogeneity on Coherent Structure Properties: Numerical Approach 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

A three-dimensional large-eddy simulation (LES) model, which includes the effects of plant–atmosphere interactions, is used
to study the effects of surface inhomogeneities on near-surface coherent structures over an open field and behind a forest
canopy. These simulated conditions are representative of two wind sectors of the Site Instrumental de Recherche par Télédétection
Atmosphérique (SIRTA) experimental site at the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace, Palaiseau, France. Coherent structure properties
deduced from wavelet transforms of the simulated near-surface vertical velocity time series are not modified by upstream terrain
heterogeneities, in agreement with site measurements. This feature is related to the nature of structures detected from the
vertical velocity time series. The turbulence close to the surface seems composed of both local coherent structures and large
coherent structures reflecting outer-layer properties, which depend on the overall surface heterogeneity or upstream heterogeneity.
It is argued that the streamwise velocity is representative of these large outer-layer structures that impinge onto the ground
through a top-down mechanism as identified through the space–time correlation of the wind velocity components. In contrast,
the vertical velocity is more representative of small structures resulting from the impingement of the large outer-layer structures.
These small structures represent locally-generated, active turbulence, which adjusts rapidly to local surface conditions,
and consequently they are only weakly dependent on upstream heterogeneities. 相似文献

Classification image processing is based mainly upon spectral features but this information alone is inadequate for drawing comprehensive maps or reliably distinguishing lithological or structural targets, especially in vegetation-covered areas. It is therefore of interest to explore an approach in which subtle features of the image are matched with field data in a variety of parameters either measured or assessed qualitatively. This approach is necessarily multidisciplinary, the three basic aspects being geomorphological, botanical and geological.The Cévennes massif, in southern France, with its sedimentary margins was selected as a test area, having both varied geology, giving a variety of landscapes, and a range of climatic zones, from Mediterranean to sub-Alpine.The present work is distinguished by its use of the landscape unit, which is rarely considered in geology. Landscapes units are recognized and defined, and the spectral homogeneity of the units is then assessed. They are combined with satellite and other data in order to improve the digital processing for geological purposes.The parameters characterising each landscape unit define the various elements contributing to the landscape, the most important of which are morphology, vegetation and geology, and their interactions. Our results using these parameters show the interest of the management of both the satellite (SPOT in this case) and non-satellite (exogenous) data. 相似文献

The near-surface flow of a well-resolved large-eddy simulation of the neutrally-stratified planetary boundary layer is used to explore the relationships between coherent structures and the vertical momentum flux. The near-surface flow is characterized by transient streaks, which are alternating bands of relatively higher and lower speed flow that form parallel to the mean shear direction in the lower part of the boundary layer. Although individual streaks are transient, the overall flow is in a quasi-equilibrium state in which the streaks form, grow, decay and regenerate over lifetimes on the order of tens of minutes. Coupled with the streaky flow is an overturning circulation with alternating bands of updrafts and downdrafts approximately centered on the streaks. The surface stress is dominated by upward ejections of slower moving near-surface air and downward sweeps of higher speed air from higher in the boundary layer. Conditional sampling of the ejection and sweep events shows that they are compact, coherent structures and are intimately related to the streaks: ejections (sweeps) preferentially form in the updrafts (downdrafts) of the three-dimensional streak flow. Hence, consistent with other recent studies, we propose that the streak motion plays an important role in the maintenance of the surface stress by establishing the preferential conditions for the ejections and sweeps that dominate the surface stress. The velocity fluctuation spectra in the model near the surface have a k
−1 spectral slope over an intermediate range of wavenumbers. This behaviour is consistent with recent theoretical predictions that attempt to evaluate the effects of organized flow, such as near-surface streaks, on the variance spectra. 相似文献

During the UBL-ESCOMPTE program (June–July 2001), intensive observations were performed in Marseille (France). In particular, a Doppler lidar, located in the north of the city, provided radial velocity measurements on a 6-km radius area in the lowest 3 km of the troposphere. Thus, it is well adapted to document the vertical structure of the atmosphere above complex terrain, notably in Marseille, which is bordered by the Mediterranean sea and framed by numerous massifs. The present study focuses on the last day of the intensive observation period 2 (26 June 2001), which is characterized by a weak synoptic pressure gradient favouring the development of thermal circulations. Under such conditions, a complex stratification of the atmosphere is observed. Three-dimensional numerical simulations, with the Méso-NH atmospheric model including the town energy balance (TEB) urban parameterization, are conducted over south-eastern France. A complete evaluation of the model outputs was already performed at both regional and city scales. Here, the 250-m resolution outputs describing the vertical structure of the atmosphere above the Marseille area are compared to the Doppler lidar data, for which the spatial resolution is comparable. This joint analysis underscores the consistency between the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) observed by the Doppler lidar and that modelled by Méso-NH. The observations and simulations reveal the presence of a shallow sea breeze (SSB) superimposed on a deep sea breeze (DSB) above Marseille during daytime. Because of the step-like shape of the Marseille coastline, the SSB is organized in two branches of different directions, which converge above the city centre. The analysis of the 250-m wind fields shows evidence of the role of the local topography on the local dynamics. Indeed, the topography tends to reinforce the SSB while it weakens the DSB. The ABL is directly affected by the different sea-breeze circulations, while the urban effects appear to be negligible. 相似文献

Land-use practices such as deforestation or agricultural management may affect regional climate, ecosystems and water resources.
The present study investigates the impact of surface heterogeneity on the behaviour of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL),
at a typical spatial scale of 1 km. Large-eddy simulations, using an interactive soil–vegetation–atmosphere surface scheme,
are performed to document the structure of the three-dimensional flow, as driven by buoyancy forces, over patchy terrain with
different surface characteristics (roughness, soil moisture, temperature) on each individual patch. The patchy terrain consists
of striped and chessboard patterns. The results show that the ABL strongly responds to the spatial configuration of surface
heterogeneities. The stripe configuration made of two patches with different soil moisture contents generates the development
of a quasi- two-dimensional inland breeze, whereas a three-dimensional divergent flow is induced by chessboard patterns. The
feedback of such small-scale atmospheric circulations on the surface fluxes appears to be highly non-linear. The surface sensible
and latent heat fluxes averaged over the 25-km2 domain may vary by 5% with respect to the patch arrangement. 相似文献
