Formation of Jets by Baroclinic Turbulence
Turbulent fluids are frequently observed to spontaneously self-organize into large spatial-scale jets; geophysical examples of this phenomenon include the Jovian banded winds and the earth’s polar-front jet. These relatively steady large-scale jets arise from and are maintained by the smaller spatialand temporalscale turbulence with which they coexist. Frequently these jets are found to be adju...
متن کاملMaintenance of Multiple Jets in a Baroclinic Flow
This article describes the generation and maintenance of persistent zonal jets in a two-layer quasigeostrophic, b-plane channel model, focusing on the transition from a one to a two jet state. For weak and moderate values of surface friction and supercriticality, the transition occurs abruptly as the width of the baroclinically unstable region of the initial flow is gradually increased. Across ...
متن کاملAtypical Tabularia in Coastal Lake Erie, USA
Tabularia populations collected at a coastal site in Lake Erie, near Cleveland, Ohio, USA exhibit highly abnormal morphology. Frustules may be bent, asymmetric, have irregular striae patterns, irregular margins, or any combination of these characters. The majority of specimens in the collection are abnormal to some degree. Although specimens are so atypical that identification is difficult, rel...
متن کاملIntegrated Ecosystem Assessment: Lake Ontario Water Management
BACKGROUND Ecosystem management requires organizing, synthesizing, and projecting information at a large scale while simultaneously addressing public interests, dynamic ecological properties, and a continuum of physicochemical conditions. We compared the impacts of seven water level management plans for Lake Ontario on a set of environmental attributes of public relevance. METHODOLOGY AND FIN...
متن کاملSelenium accumulation in sea ducks wintering at Lake Ontario.
Numbers of wintering sea ducks, including buffleheads (Bucephala albeola; BUFF), common goldeneyes (Bucephala clangula; COGO), and long-tailed ducks (Clangula hyemalis; LTDU), increased substantially at Lake Ontario after Dreissenid mussels (Dreissena bugensis and D. polymorpha) colonized the Great Lakes. Invertebrates, including Dreissenid mussels, are major diving duck prey items that can tra...
