Linear baroclinic instability in the Martian atmosphere: Primitive equation calculations
In this study, baroclinic-barotropic instability of the Martian atmosphere is studied for a zonal basic state based on Mariner 9 observations, using a spherical linear primitive equation model derived from a method of 3-D normal mode expansion. As a result of solving a matrix eigenvalue problem, a distinctly unstable mode at synoptic to planetary scales was found with a peak growth rate of 2.3 ...
متن کاملLinear Waves and Baroclinic Instability in an Inhomogeneous Layer Primitive Equations Ocean Model
We consider a multilayer generalization of Ripa’s inhomogeneous single-layer primitive equations model. In addition to vary arbitrarily in horizontal position and time, the horizontal velocity and buoyancy fields are allowed to vary linearly with depth within each layer of the model. Preliminary results on linear waves and baroclinic instability suggest that a configuration involving a few laye...
متن کاملO N the Numerical Integration of the Primitive of Motion for Baroclinic Flow in a Closed Equations Region
This paper considers the problem of numerically integrating the primitive equations corresponding to B 2-level model of the atmosphere bounded by two zonal walls on a spherical earth. Inertio-gravitational motions of the external type are filtered a priori; for such a constraint it is possible to define a stream function corresponding to the vertically integrated motions. A system of integratio...
متن کاملGeneral Circulation Experiments with the Primitive Equations
An extended period numerical integration of a baroclinic priniitive equation model has been made for the simulation and the study of the dynamics of the atmosphere’s general circulation. The solution corresponding to external gravitational propagation is filtered by requiring the vertically integrated divergence to vanish identically. Thc vertical structure permits as dependent variables the ho...
متن کاملBaroclinic Turbulence in the Ocean: Analysis with Primitive Equation and Quasigeostrophic Simulations
This paper examines the factors determining the distribution, length scale, magnitude, and structure of mesoscale oceanic eddies in an eddy-resolving primitive equation simulation of the Southern Ocean [Modeling Eddies in the Southern Ocean (MESO)]. In particular, the authors investigate the hypothesis that the primary source of mesoscale eddies is baroclinic instability acting locally on the m...
