Terrain spectra can quantitatively reflect the effect of topographic dynamic forcing on the atmosphere. In wavelength space, topographic spectral energy decreases with decreasing wavelength, in spite of several departures. This relationship is approximated by an exponential function. A power law relationship between the terrain height spectra and wavelength is fitted by the least-squares method, and the fitting slope is associated with grid-size selection for mesoscale models. The monotonicity of grid size is investigated, and it is strictly proved that grid size increases with increasing fitting exponent, indicating that the universal grid size is determined by the minimum fitting exponent. An example of landslide-prone areas in western Sichuan is given, and the universal grid spacing of 4.1 km is shown to be a requirement to resolve 90% of terrain height variance for mesoscale models, without resorting to the parameterization of subgrid-scale terrain variance. Comparison among results of different simulations shows that the simulations estimate the observed precipitation well when using a resolution of 4.1 km or finer. Although the main flow patterns are similar, finer grids produce more complex patterns that show divergence zones, convergence zones and vortices. Horizontal grid size significantly affects the vertical structure of the convective boundary layer. Stronger vertical wind components are simulated for finer grid resolutions. In particular, noticeable sinking airflows over mountains are captured for those model configurations.展开更多

Similar to the single-valued monotone set function, several important structural characteristics of set-valued function are defined and have been proven the same as those in the original set functions, such as null-additivity, weakly null-additivity, order continuity, strong order continuity and property(S). A counterexample shows that order continuity and strong order continuity of the original set functions are no longer kept in a monotone set-valued function when Choquet integrably bounded assumption is abandoned. Four kinds of absolute continuities are defined for set-valued function, and all been proven valid with respect to the original set functions.展开更多

We present a continuation method for VIP(X. F). which solves a sequence ofperturbed variational inequality problems PVIP(X. F, ε. μ) depending on two parameters ε≥ 0and μ>0. It is worthy to point out that the method will be a feasible point type whenε = 0 and a nonfeasible point type when ε>0, i.e., it is a combined feasible-nonfeasible point(CFNFP for short) method. We analyse the existence, uniqueness and continuity of the solutionto PVIP(X, F, ε,μ), and prove that any sequence generated by this method converges to theunique solution of VIP(X, F).展开更多
