The exchange of heat, momentum, and mass in the atmosphere over mountainous terrain is
controlled by synoptic-scale dynamics, thermally driven mesoscale circulations, and …

2000: A multiscale field study of dispersion through an urban environment. Bull. Amer …

The paper reviews recent advances in our understanding about the dynamics of thermally
driven winds over sloping terrain. Major progress from recent experiments, both in the field …

The theoretical treatment of turbulence is largely based on the assumption of horizontally
homogeneous and flat underlying surfaces. Correspondingly, approaches developed over …

Viabilized by observations from modern field experiments in complex terrain sites, wind
energy models have been enhanced to incorporate the unsteadiness of the diurnal cycle …

One of the greatest challenges of modern wind energy research is to improve our
understanding of and ability to model wind farm flows, especially those over complex terrain …

Anabatic flows are common phenomena in the presence of sloping terrains, which
significantly affect the dynamics and the exchange of mass and momentum in the low …

Abstract The Southwest Monsoon Current (SMC) in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and prominent
eddies surrounding it, in particular, an anticyclonic eddy (AE) to the southeast and a cyclonic …

To eliminate the need to correct for instrument tilt, a process that can be problematic in
complex terrain, a new way to calculate the turbulent friction velocity is derived based on …

We introduce a quasi-analytical model of thermally induced flows in valleys with sloping
floors, a feature absent from most theoretical valley wind studies. One of the main theories …
