Sentences with phrase «model atmospheric flow»

However unexpected it may sound, this question prompted physicists at the Laboratoire Ondes et Matière d'Aquitaine (CNRS / université de Bordeaux) to perform a highly novel experiment: they used soap bubbles to model atmospheric flow.

Not exact matches

After a painstaking analysis that modeled all known sources of acceleration for Juno, including the minute contributions from sunlight warming the spacecraft, Iess's team found a large north - south asymmetry in Jupiter's gravitational field — a clear sign of material flowing beneath the cloud tops on deep atmospheric winds.

The UM Rosenstiel School researchers used historical observations of cloud cover as a proxy for wind velocity in climate models to analyze the Walker circulation, the atmospheric air flow and heat distribution in the tropic Pacific region that affects patterns of tropical rainfall.

For the hydrological modelling of the Thames river catchment done at CEH we showed that the changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation caused higher peak 30 - day river flow, while flood risk mapping revealed a small increase in flood risk for properties in the Thames catchment.

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.

Back in atmospheric physics, chaotic behaviour is a highly - studied and well - understood phenomenon of all realistic global models, arising directly from the nonlinearity of the Navier - Stokes equations for fluid flow.

This article evaluates the ability of state - of - the - art climate models to reproduce the low - frequency variability of the mid-tropospheric winter flow of the Northern Hemisphere in terms of atmospheric teleconnection patterns.

These models predicted that the Northern Hemisphere Polar region would warm fastest and first, that the Southern Ocean would draw a greater portion of atmospheric heat into the ocean system, and that land ice melt near Greenland and West Antarctica would generate cold, fresh water flows into the nearby ocean zones and set off localized cooling.

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.

In a new study published in the Journal of Climate, the Community Earth System Model Large Ensemble (CESM - LENS) of simulations is used to explore how various characteristics of the mid-latitude atmospheric circulation (zonal flow, synoptic blockings, jet stream meanders) evolve along the course of the 21st century under the RCP8.5 scenario of anthropogenic emissions.

The team used newly available NASA satellite observations of rainfall and vegetation, and a computer model that predicts atmospheric wind flow patterns, to explore the impact of the Earth's tropical forests.
