摘要: Abstract A three-dimensional, time-dependent, nested-grid model is used to calculate the targeting of tracer or Seeding material over complex terrain in northern Arizona. Good agreement with measurements SF6 reported three case studies. Released upwind valleys, movement and dispersion are strongly influenced by both valley flow gravity waves excited mountains, as well changes synoptic flow, which can change substantially even during a single storm. The interaction between airflow topography seem be dominant factor determining transport material.
