Sentences with phrase «eddy momentum»

It is shown how such stirring, as represented by a simple stochastic forcing in a barotropic model, leads to a variability in the zonal flow via a variability in the eddy momentum flux convergence and to patterns similar to those observed.

Cospectral analysis of eddy momentum flux convergence shows that eddy activity is generally restricted by these phase speed bounds.

Sobel, A. H., and T. Schneider, 2009: Single - layer axisymmetric model for a Hadley circulation with parameterized eddy momentum forcing.

Ait - Chaalal, F., and T. Schneider, 2015: Why eddy momentum fluxes are concentrated in the upper troposphere.

Poleward eddy momentum fluxes interact with the zonal mean flow to sustain latitudinal displacements of the mid-latitude westerlies (Limpasuvan and Hartmann, 2000; Rashid and Simmonds, 2004, 2005).

Not exact matches

This is uncharted territory — a little eddy of advantageous standing and turning momentum.

Momentum can be transfered by the resulting «eddy viscosity» more effectively than by molecular viscosity.

Workshop participants recommended that steps should be taken to define air - sea fluxes as ECVs or EOVs, particularly for those fluxes that can be measured directly and for which there is consensus about measurement methods (e.g., air - sea heat and momentum exchanges using the eddy covariance method).

The eddy correlation (ECOR) flux measurement system provides half - hour measurements of the surface turbulent fluxes of momentum, sensible heat, latent heat, and carbon dioxide.

The Hadley circulation must also obey angular momentum balances, and it does so in a way that is not simple (eddy transport of angular momentum plays an important role).

A detailed momentum budget for each case confirms that high - frequency eddies play a crucial role in producing the NAO - like patterns.

A mechanism is presented by which eddy heat and momentum transport couple to retard motion of the jet, slowing its meridional variation and thereby extending the persistence of zonal index and annular mode anomalies.

Through baroclinic instability, the potential energy associated with temperature gradients is converted into the energy in atmospheric eddies that dominate the heat and angular momentum transport poleward of the subsiding region of the Hadley cell.
