    • Evolution of cold-air-pooling processes in complex terrain 

      Burns, Paul; Chemel, C. (2014-03-01)
      Elucidating cold-air-pooling processes forms part of the longstanding problem of parametrizing the effects of complex terrain in larger-scale numerical models. The Weather Research and Forecasting model has been set-up and ...

    • Interactions between downslope flows and a developing cold-air pool 

      Burns, Paul; Chemel, C. (2015-01-01)
      A numerical model has been used to characterize the development of a region of enhanced cooling in an alpine valley with a width of order (Formula presented.) km, under decoupled stable conditions. The region of enhanced ...

    • Pollutant dispersion in a developing valley cold-air pool 

      Chemel, C.; Burns, Paul (2015-03-01)
      Pollutants are trapped and accumulate within cold-air pools, thereby affecting air quality. A numerical model is used to quantify the role of cold-air-pooling processes in the dispersion of air pollution in a developing ...
