Sentences with phrase «scale atmospheric flow»
Black et al. (15) analyzed basic factors that likely contributed to the summer 2003 European heat wave, examining large - scale atmospheric flow, regional heat budget at the top of the atmosphere, and sea surface temperature.

They found that regional temperatures and precipitation for the next 50 years may be less predictable due to the chaotic nature of the large - scale atmospheric flow.
Deser et al. imply that information about the future regional climate is more blurred than previously anticipated because of large - scale atmospheric flow responsible for variations in regional climates.
Stable and accurate solutions to the Navier Stokes equations for large scale atmospheric flows are obtained by filtering sound waves (the hydrostatic assumption) and filtering high frequency unresolved gravity waves.

Our work is a «downscaling» study, in which we first simulate past hurricane seasons, using as input observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs), the observed state of the atmosphere at the boundaries of our Atlantic domain, as well as the largest scales in the atmospheric flow over the Atlantic.
We can estimate the atmospheric overturning from reanalyses which provide data on the flow over a range of vertical levels and on a global scale.
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.
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).
The winds flow from east to west and then swap to moving from west to east, completing a cycle roughly every 28 months as atmospheric waves ripple up from large - scale convection in the tropics.
Other proposed mechanisms confine the Arctic's influence on large - scale circulation changes to the troposphere, in which a warmer Arctic favors a wavier flow and more persistent atmospheric blocking, which often spawns extreme weather events58, 59.
