Sentences with phrase «zonal average wind»

However, climatological zonal average wind can obscure important aspects of jet streams (such as the distinction between polar and subtropical).

Time series of the observed amplitudes (in meters per second) of zonal wave numbers m = 6 (black), m = 7 (red), and m = 8 (blue) for the 15 - d running means of the meridional wind velocity at 300 hPa averaged over 37.5 ° N − 57.5 ° N for May − September 2012 and 2013, based on daily reanalysis data (41).

In our paper, we have dealt with the zonally averaged zonal winds as the mean flow and excluded from our consideration packets of quasistationary planetary waves trapped in predominantly meridional elongated waveguides, specifically those originating in the tropics.
