Simulation Research to Develop Objective Meteorological Prediction Capability
Abstract
The report is a continuation of the work included in AD744793 regarding the investigation of the suitability of alternate expressions for the exchange coefficients for momentum, heat, and water vapor which are an integral part of the set of meteorological equations presently being used to simulate the atmospheric boundary layer. Solutions for Cases 6-A, 6-B, 7-A, 7-B and i of the Dallas Tower Network data, incorporating alternate exchange coefficients, are included in the report. These solutions indicate that the alternate expressions for the exchange coefficients for momentum produces more realistic results which are consistent with the expected diurnal variation of the exchange coefficient and which yield predicted winds that are nearer to the observed values for the cases cited than those winds predicted by the original exchange coefficient relationships.
