In the study, the research team identified three distinctive characteristic regimes with regard to the degree of slip at the interface and revealed the underlying molecular mechanisms for each regime: (i) the z - to - x chain rotation mechanism in the vorticity plane in the weak flow regime, which effectively diminishes the wall friction against chain movement along the flow direction, (ii) the repetitive chain detachment - attachment (out - of - plane wagging) and disentanglement mechanism in the intermediate regime, and (iii) irregular (chaotic) chain rotation and tumbling mechanisms in the strong flow regime.
It's always worth remembering that the other end of the AMOC involves two main factors: (1) vorticity - mixing of heat from surface waters into the deep abyssal ocean (which decreases density causing the Atlantic Deep Water to start rising above the colder Antarctic Bottom Water) and (2) the wind - driven upwelling around the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
Banded patterns in the relative vorticity field continued when assessing absolute vorticity, and even carried through to calculations of genesis potential index (which relies on not only absolute vorticity, but also RH, mixing ratio, and potential intensity in m / s).
Below are animations of the zonal wind and vorticity at the level in the model that corresponds roughly to the estimated level of the cloud tops from which the observed flows are inferred.
The vorticity is shown in polar view at the level in the model that corresponds roughly to the estimated level of the cloud tops from which the observed flow is inferred (0.75 bar).
This is consistent with regional patterns of potential vorticity anomalies, which, as discussed, may be associated with Rossby wave breaking and western boundary currents.
It works not by spinning in the wind, but by taking advantage of a phenomenon called vorticity, or the Kármán vortex street, which is a «repeating pattern of swirling vortices.»
These snow bands may emerge as the defining characteristic of this particular snowstorm, which is carrying an especially large amount of «waviness» known as negative equivalent potential vorticity.
