My subfield of atmospheric and oceanic sciences is large - scale atmospheric dynamics — basically the fluid mechanics of
atmospheric flows with horizontal scales of hundreds to thousands of kilometers (on Earth and Mars, at least).

Taken together, Palumbo says, the results offer a potential means of reconciling the geological evidence for
flowing water on early Mars
with the
atmospheric evidence for a cold and icy planet.
Improved competencies on
atmospheric flow, together
with the guidelines and best practices for the use of data, promises to become a key tool
with reduced overall uncertainties for determining wind conditions.
Experiments carried out in the OU Mars Simulation Chamber — specialised equipment, which is able to simulate the
atmospheric conditions on Mars — reveal that Mars» thin atmosphere (about 7 mbar — compared to 1,000 mbar on Earth) combined
with periods of relatively warm surface temperatures causes water
flowing on the surface to violently boil.
A study published this year by Bradley Udall, senior water and climate research scientist
with the Colorado Water Institute at Colorado State University, and Jonathan Overpeck, professor of hydrology and
atmospheric sciences at the University of Arizona, found that during the drought years of 2000 - 2014, the river surrendered a third of its
flow because of higher temperatures in the upper basin.
The effect of
atmospheric cooling due to an AMOC collapse is associated
with heat
flow from the atmosphere into the ocean, which has been witnessed during the climate hiatus of the last 15 years.

atmospheric ingredients tend to come into play across the Southeast in March as warm, moist air
flows up from the Gulf of Mexico and meets
with cooler, drier air dropping down from the northwest.
The
atmospheric zonal
flows extend downwards by more than 2,000 kilometres, but not beyond 3,500 kilometres, as is also the case
with the jets.
Moreover, we find that the
atmospheric zonal
flow extends to more than 2,000 kilometres and to less than 3,500 kilometres, making it fully consistent
with the constraints obtained independently from the odd gravitational harmonics.
Space out one of the voice actors, and Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock is quite the
atmospheric experience,
with an interesting (albeit cut - short story), detailed visuals and pleasant
flow in its gameplay.
The film is seriously uneven
with its focus, just as its uneven
with its pacing and, yes, even its style, which is often grounded, or at least highly
atmospheric, until jarring into a touch of abstractionism which is not realized enough for the film to
flow with its themes.
Breathtaking suspense and harrowing plot twists in a thrilling page - turner graced
with the unforgettable characters and vivid,
atmospheric details that
flow from the rich imagination of such a gifted writer.
To conquer and master each of the handcrafted levels, you must get into the
flow of the pumping,
atmospheric soundtrack, as enemies and traps move along
with the rhythm.
In sensitivity experiments the influence of removed orography of Greenland on the Arctic
flow patterns and cyclone tracks during winter have been determined using a global coupled model and a dynamical downscaling
with the regional
atmospheric model HIRHAM.
This is not the case
with surface - to - air heat exchange (which involves evapo - transpiration, sensible heat
flows, and radiation) or even within the troposphere where impacts of latent heating on
atmospheric circulations are realized on scales ranging from hundreds of meters to thousands of kilometers.
For example, John Sterman has a simple demonstration of stocks and
flows in an
atmospheric system,
with his bathtub model of greenhouse gas emissions and concentrations.
Conversely, due to well - researched upper -
atmospheric flow (e.g. vertical shear) configurations favorable to Atlantic hurricane development and intensification, La Nina falls tend to favor very active seasons in the Atlantic (El Nino years are the converse,
with must less activity, as forecast by Gray and NOAA for 2009).
The annular modes describe variability in the «anomalous»
atmospheric flow, that is, variability not associated
with the seasonal cycle.
Dynamical effects arising from changes in
atmospheric pressure also play a role in distributing meltwater, as do geostrophic ocean currents that
flow along the lines where pressure gradients are counterbalanced by the Coriolis effect associated
with the Earth's rotation.
Your claim proven as a theorem now means basically (
with some radiative cooling at the top for the return
flow) that it does not need confirmation by numerical modelling, but rather, application, to see how it plays out in real
atmospheric problems.
The study argues that ice sheets in contact
with the ocean, including the many West Antarctic glaciers that end in floating ice shelves, «are vulnerable to non-linear disintegration» due to a combination of
atmospheric warming and major shifts in ocean circulation that would result from a surge in freshwater
flowing into the ocean in the North Atlantic (from Greenland), and Southern Ocean (from Antarctica).
