Sentences with phrase «moist stabilities in each region»

Combining these equations for the mass and energy balances of the Hadley cell, we can write the ratio of the ITCZ area to the area of the descent region in terms of the gross moist stabilities in each region, the respective net energy inputs, and the mean advection and transient - eddy terms in the energy budget:

Not exact matches

Consequently, the vertical velocity in the descent region is a function not only of the net energy input to the atmosphere and the gross moist stability, but also of the energy transport by transient eddies and mean advection.

Thus, we would expect a narrow ITCZ because the gross moist stability is larger in the descent region (Hill et al. 2015), assuming all other terms in the energy budgets of the ITCZ and descent region are equal.

The width of the ITCZ (relative to the descent region) is proportional to ratio of the gross moist stabilities in the two regions.
