This analysis presents a new set of scalings for sea-breeze circulations. The scales are based on surface-layer turbulent fluxes of sensible heat and momentum, thus avoiding the use of exchange coefficients. Nondimensionalization of the governing equations, using the new scales, results in four dimensionless governing parameters, two of which are new. A data set consisting of 36 profiles of atmospheric variables during pure sea-breeze circulations is presented. The data are used to generate scaling laws for dimensionless sea-breeze depth and strength in the form of products of powers of the governing dimensionless parameters. These scaling laws are used to nondimensionalize individual velocity profiles, which are composited to present a universal dimensionless sea-breeze velocity profile. The scaling laws, applied as a diagnostic scheme, are used to investigate the diurnal evolution of the depth and strength of sea breezes. 相似文献

Southern resident killer whales in British Columbia and Washington are exposed to heavy vessel traffic. This study investigates their exposure to exhaust gases from whale-watching vessels by using a simple dispersion model incorporating data on whale and vessel behavior, atmospheric conditions, and output of airborne pollutants from the whale-watching fleet based on emissions data from regulatory agencies.Our findings suggest that current whale-watching guidelines are usually effective in limiting pollutant exposure to levels at or just below those at which measurable adverse health effects would be expected in killer whales. However, safe pollutant levels are exceeded under worst-case conditions and certain average-case conditions. To reduce killer whale exposure to exhaust we recommend: vessels position on the downwind side of whales, a maximum of 20 whale-watching vessels should be within 800 m at any given time, viewing periods should be limited, and current whale-watch guidelines and laws should be enforced. 相似文献

Numerical model simulations of sea-breeze circulations in the presence of idealized topography are subjected to dimensional
analysis in order to capture the dynamics of the sea-breeze circulation combined with an upslope-flow circulation. A secondary
objective is to reconcile previous results based on observations. The analysis is based on a scaling analysis of sea-breeze
speed, depth and volume flux. This study is motivated by the fact that the literature of sea breezes interacting with upslope
flows is generally qualitative. Results show clear scaling regimes and strong interaction between the two thermally driven
circulations. We distinguish three regimes, depending on slope length, slope angle, stability and surface heat flux. The first
and third regimes obey the scaling laws of pure sea-breeze scaling. The second regime shows a significant decrease in the
scaled volume flux relative to pure sea-breeze scaling. Dynamical relations in the second regime show a strong influence on
the circulation of upslope stable air advection. 相似文献

The present study explores the extent to which the logarithmic region of the adiabatic atmospheric boundary layer can be modeled using a three-dimensional large eddy simulation. A value of the von Kármán constant (LES) is obtained by determining the slope of a logarithmic portion of the velocity profile. Its numerical value is found to be dependent on the value of the Smagorinsky-Model Reynolds number, ReSM: the value of LES increases with ReSM. Results indicate that LES approaches a value of 0.35 as ReSM reaches about 7.75 × 105 for the largest domain. The sensitivity of LES to the profile region over which it is evaluated has been tested. Results show that LES is not sensitive to the depth of this evaluation region when we employ five grids above the sub-grid buffer layer where sub-grid-scale effects dominate. The maximum LES is obtained when the lower boundary of the evaluation region is just above the top of the sub-grid-scale buffer layer. This result is consistent with modelled mean speed and resolved-scale shear stress profiles. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to test the ability of two quite different models to simulate the combined spatial and temporal variability of the internal boundary layer in an area of complex terrain and coastline during one day. The simple applied slab model of Gryning and Batchvarova, and the Colorado State University Regional Atmospheric Modelling System (CSU-RAMS) are tested by comparison with data gathered during a field study (called Pacific '93) of photochemical pollution in the Lower Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada. The data utilised here are drawn from tethered balloon flights, free flying balloon ascents, and downlooking lidar operated from an aircraft flown at roughly 3500 m above sea level. Both models are found to represent the temporal and spatial development of the internal boundary-layer depth over the Lower Fraser Valley very well, and reproduce many of the finer details revealed by the measurements. 相似文献

We conduct a retrospective study of ozone formation in the Lower Fraser Valley (LFV), using numerical models, observations, and emission inventories in order to understand relationships between reductions in local precursor emissions and episodic ozone concentrations. Because there appears to be little or no impact from precursor emissions upwind of the LFV during ozone episodes and because background concentrations of ozone and its precursors are generally from the North Pacific Ocean and quite low, summertime ozone formation in the LFV is mostly caused by local emissions. The observed change in behaviour of ozone formation must, therefore, arise from reductions in local precursor emissions. We exploit the observed changing precursor emission–ozone concentration relationship to perform a dynamical model evaluation. Complicating the analyses are an observed shift in the population patterns within the valley over the last 25 years and a small but documented change in the tropospheric background concentration of ozone. Ozone formation for four episodes, which capture the observed changes in ozone reduction and the different meteorological types that occur during LFV ozone events, are investigated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions (SMOKE)-Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modelling system. In order to provide realistic simulations of past events, the SMOKE emission inventory is adjusted to account for temporal changes in the amount of emissions and locations of emission sources. Model output is compared with continuous observations, data collected from field campaigns, and previous modelling efforts. The WRF-SMOKE-CMAQ modelling framework is able to capture the changes in both the magnitude of the ozone concentrations and its spatial behaviour over the period of study. Many of the simulations show that the highest ozone concentrations occur outside the area sampled by the fixed monitoring network and within the LFV's numerous tributary valleys. Not all modelled episodes achieved the same agreement with observations and some of these discrepancies are likely related to shortcomings in the meteorological modelling. The model consistently overpredicts ozone at a number of stations within the City of Vancouver and underpredicts daytime NOx concentrations there. Both results are consistent with a deficiency in NOx emissions. The model shows a changing bias over time which also suggests uncertainties in the emission backcasting. RÉSUMÉ?[Traduit par la rédaction] Nous menons une étude rétrospective de la formation de l'ozone dans le vallée du bas Fraser (VBF) à l'aide de modèles numériques, d'observations et d'inventaires d’émissions dans le but de comprendre les relations entre les réductions dans les émissions locales de polluants précurseurs et les concentrations épisodiques d'ozone. Parce qu'il semble n'y avoir que peu ou pas d'impact des émissions de polluants précurseurs en amont de la VBF durant les épisodes d'ozone et parce que les concentrations de fond de l'ozone et de ses précurseurs proviennent généralement du Pacifique Nord et sont très faibles, la formation d'ozone en été dans la VBF est principalement attribuable aux émissions locales. Le changement de comportement observé dans la formation d'ozone doit par conséquent résulter de réductions dans les émissions locales de précurseurs. Nous exploitons la relation changeante observée entre les émissions de précurseurs et la concentration de l'ozone pour effectuer une évaluation par modèle dynamique. Un déplacement observé dans les configurations de population à l'intérieur de la vallée au cours des 25 dernières années et un changement, petit mais documenté, dans la concentration troposphérique de fond de l'ozone viennent compliquer les analyses. Nous étudions la formation d'ozone lors de quatre épisodes qui capturent les changements observés dans la réduction d'ozone et les différents types météorologiques qui se produisent pendant les événements d'ozone dans la VBF en nous servant du système de modélisation SMOKE (Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions) – CMAQ (Community Multiscale Air Quality) du WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting). Afin de fournir des simulations réalistes des événements passés, nous avons ajusté l'inventaire d’émissions SMOKE pour tenir compte des changements au cours du temps dans la quantité d’émissions et dans la position des sources d’émissions. Nous comparons la sortie du modèle avec les observations continues, les données recueillies lors d’études sur le terrain et les efforts de modélisation précédents. Le cadre de modélisation WRF-SMOKE-CMAQ est capable de capturer les changements dans la grandeur des concentrations d'ozone ainsi que dans son comportement spatial durant la période de l’étude. Plusieurs des simulations montrent que les plus fortes concentrations d'ozone se produisent en dehors de la région échantillonnée par le réseau fixe de surveillance et à l'intérieur des nombreuses vallées affluentes de la VBF. Tous les épisodes modélisés n'ont pas exhibé le même accord avec les observations et certaines de ces divergences sont vraisemblablement dues à des lacunes dans la modélisation météorologique. Le modèle surprévoit constamment l'ozone à certaines stations dans la ville de Vancouver et sous-prévoit les concentrations de NOx le jour à cet endroit. Les deux résultats sont cohérents avec un déficit dans les émissions de NOx. Le modèle montre un biais qui change avec le temps, ce qui porte à croire à des incertitudes dans les émissions rétrospectives. 相似文献

Abstract In order to assess the ability of a GCM to simulate regional to synoptic scale atmospheric structures, a correlation‐based computer‐assisted gridded map typing procedure is used to compare daily pressure (MSL) and geopotential height fields (500 hPa) from a GCM simulation of the present climate to a decade of NMC analyses. The model is able to reproduce the entire range of synoptic circulation types. However, statistically significant differences in the seasonal frequencies and variances of the main circulation types are evident. These differences, which are most pronounced in the winter (at 500 hPa) and in spring and autumn in the MSL fields, are consistent with subtle errors in the predicted fields at the hemispheric scale. The lack of agreement between the NMC climatology and the “control” simulation precludes extension of this approach to investigation of climate change impacts in western north America, and to more meteorologically dynamic extra‐tropical regions. The map‐typing procedure is shown to be an appropriate GCM synoptic‐scale validation tool that permits direct comparison of GCM output and observed fields. As such, it has the potential to elucidate the regional‐scale impacts of global climatic change through established synoptic circulation environment relationships. 相似文献
