Dissipative Energization of Baroclinic Waves by Surface Ekman Pumping
A two-layer quasi-geostrophic model is used to study the effect of lower boundary Ekman pumping on the energetics of baroclinic waves. Although the direct impact of the Ekman pumping is to damp the total eddy energy, either the eddy available potential energy (EAPE) or the eddy kinetic energy (EKE), individually, can grow due to the Ekman pumping. Growth of EAPE is favored if the phase differen...
متن کاملLyapunov, Floquet, and singular vectors for baroclinic waves
The dynamics of the growth of linear disturbances to a chaotic basic state is analyzed in an asymptotic model of weakly nonlinear, baroclinic wave-mean interaction. In this model, an ordinary differential equation for the wave amplitude is coupled to a partial differential equation for the zonal flow correction. The leading Lyapunov vector is nearly parallel to the leading Floquet vector φ1 of ...
متن کاملLinear Baroclinic Instability in Extended Regime Geostrophic Models
The linear wave and baroclinic instability properties of various geostrophic models valid when the Rossby number is small are investigated. The models are the ‘‘L1’’ dynamics, the ‘‘geostrophic potential vorticity’’ equations, and the more familiar quasigeostrophic and planetary geostrophic equations. Multilayer shallow water equations are used as a control. The goal is to determine whether the...
متن کاملSpiral waves in two-dimensional models of ventricular muscle: formation of a stationary core.
Previous experimental studies have clearly demonstrated the existence of drifting and stationary electrical spiral waves in cardiac muscle and their involvement in cardiac arrhythmias. Here we present results of a study of reentrant excitation in computer simulations based on a membrane model of the ventricular cell. We have explored in detail the parameter space of the model, using tools deriv...
