Sentences with phrase «wind shear associated»
A recent paper by Vecchi and Soden (preprint) published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters has been widely touted in the news (and some egregiously bad editorials), and the blogosphere as suggesting that increased vertical wind shear associated with tropical circulation changes may offset any tendencies for increased hurricane activity in the tropical Atlantic due to warming oceans.

Over the Atlantic basin, the amplified trough is associated with stronger upper - level westerly winds and stronger lower - level easterly trade winds, both of which increase the vertical wind shear and suppress hurricane activity.
Why can't the average tropical cyclone tap into the energy of a (baroclinic, hence associated with wind shear) jet stream, rather than being weakenned by it?
The dynamical ingredients associated with wind shear, and the triggers for releasing the latent and sensible instabilities, are critical to the problem.
In the US, the vertical wind shear is a strong factor in estimating intensity, with stronger tornadoes associated with higher wind shear.
Baroclinic instability theory can therefore give no clear answer about the dependency of the wavelength on the wind speed u 700 when assuming the variability of u 700 to be associated with the variability of the vertical wind shear.
The extent of ENSO associated wind shear can be overstated.
Vertical wind shear is associated with shorter interannual variability.
