| Contents Notes | A three-dimensional mesoscale numerical model based on simplified second-moment turbulence-closure equations is used for a better understanding of airflow modification by Lake Michigan.^Results show airflow characteristics similar to those often observed in the area under late summer conditions.^The model sensitivity studies confirm that intensity and location of the lake breeze circulations can vary considerably, for example, if synoptic winds change.^Magnitudes of the computed eddy exchange coefficients over water are, as often observed, considerably smaller than the counterparts over land. |
