متن کاملBarotropic Divergence and Very Long Atmospheric Waves
The problem of spurious retrogression of very long waves by the non-divergent barotropic forecasts is shown to be the same problem discussed extensively by Rossby, Yeh, and Bolin. This difficulty is due to the failure of the nondivergent model to allow properly for the mutual adjustment of wind and pressure fields. The equation of continuity for a homogeneous incompressible fluid with an upper ...
متن کاملHow to excite the internal modes of sine-Gordon solitons
We investigate the dynamics of the sine-Gordon solitons perturbed by spatiotemporal external forces. We prove the existence of internal (shape) modes of sine-Gordon solitons when they are in the presence of inhomogeneous space-dependent external forces, provided some conditions (for these forces) hold. Additional periodic timedependent forces can sustain oscillations of the soliton width. We sh...
متن کاملScattering of barotropic Rossby waves by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
[1] This study examines the interactions between barotropic Rossby waves and a zonal current, with particular reference to the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). In the high latitude of the Southern Ocean, the effect, which provides the restoring mechanism for Rossby waves, is relatively weak, resulting in barotropic waves that are extremely long, with periods of the order of 1 week or longer...
متن کاملInternal waves revisited
We describe a new laboratory technique that has been developed to examine the structure and amplitude of internal waves. As well as being relatively inexpensive to set up, the technique is sensitive to small density fluctuations: heat rising from a hand can easily be seen. If the internal wave field is uniform across the span of the tank, then the density gradient field can be measured non-intr...
