| Summary: | a third over the western Gulf of Mexico. The evolution of the air flow during a period of return flow is complex. When Carlson and Ludlam (1968). The LLJ over the Plains is found conceptual model for a severe storm environment produced by development of low level jets. As the westerly winds disturbance, synoptic influences overwhelm the mesoscale diurnal cycles. The LLJ over the western Gulf of Mexico flow event is studied using output from the Penn State/NCAR flow to accelerate downstream of the obstacle. This increase in response to an approaching upper level lower troposphere over the southern Plains is much like the Mesoscale Model (Version 4). Three geographically different mid-level westerlies are weak, mesoscale processes govern the mixed layer that forms over the region. Over Mexico, the near the Mexican Plateau southwest of Brownsville, Texas, and one over the southern Plains of the United States, a second pressure gradient that supports a LLJ east of the Plateau. processes leading to a single larger scale low level jet. response to lee troughing and to the shape of an elevated results largely from topographic blocking of the low level simulation shows that the structure of the lower tropospheric southerly flow. An eastward protrusion in the model southerly low level jets (LLJ's) develop in the simulation: southern Plains, and remains nearly stationary over two temperature structure over the Plateau is responsible for a The evolution of the southerly low level jet during a return The LLJ encompasses a smaller area than the LLJ over the to form first as an inertial oscillation, and later as a topography north of Veracruz, Mexico forces the low level |
