We show that it is possible to approximate 1D time-independent short-range potentials by a sum of δ function potentials. By the use of transfer matrix techniques it is possible to calculate the total transfer matrix as well as the S matrix which connects the incoming waves to the outgoing...

Prediction of the track and intensity of tropical cyclones is one of the most challenging problems in numerical weather prediction (NWP). The chief objective of this study is to investigate the performance of different cumulus convection and planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterization...

Sea surface winds and coastal winds, which have a significant influence on the ocean environment, are very difficult to predict. Although most planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterizations have demonstrated the capability to represent many meteorological phenomena, little attention has been...

This work aims to assess the Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) model wind simulation and wind energy production estimates sensitivity to different planetary boundary layer parameterization schemes. Five WRF simulations considering different sets of planetary boundary layer (PBL) and surface...

This paper analyses the effect wind turbulence on the output of large-sized wind turbines. A brief account of atmospheric stability and vertical temperature gradient is explained. The principal objective of this paper is to give an account of underlying principles and concepts without going into...

The very severe cyclonic storm Nargis of 2008 was a strong tropical cyclone that caused the deadliest natural disaster in the history of Myanmar. The time tested NCAR/PSU MM5 model has been used to simulate the Nargis cyclone, which is designed to have two domains covering the Bay of Bengal with...
