Cloud Clusters and Large-Scale Vertical Motions in the Tropics
The sensible heat budget of a large-scale area containing an idealized tropical cloud cluster is analyzed. The cluster is assumed to have spatial dimensions and precipitation rates typical of observed cloud clusters. In its early stages of development the idealized cluster consists of isolated deep precipitating convective cells, or "hot towers." A simple model using the assumed precipitation r...
متن کاملBulk Motions in Large-Scale Void Models
To explain the puzzling situation in the observed bulk flows on scales ∼ 150h Mpc (H0 = 100h −1 km sec Mpc), we consider the observational behavior of spherically symmetric inhomogeneous cosmological models, which consist of inner and outer homogeneous regions connected by a shell or an intermediate self-similar region. It is assumed that the present matter density parameter in the inner region...
متن کاملLarge-scale peculiar motions and cosmic acceleration
Observers with small, but finite, peculiar velocities relative to the Hubble flow can measure a negative deceleration parameter, although the universe may be actually decelerating. The effect is local but it can affect large enough scales to give the impression that the whole universe had recently entered an accelerated phase. We outline the key features of the accelerating mechanism and discus...
متن کاملThe Use of Satellite Cloud Motions for Estimating the Circulation over the Tropics
Resultant winds over the Pacific are derived from an Advanced Technology Satellite (ATS 1) for the month of November 1969. Since the method uses clouds as tracers, these resultant winds are biased toward cloud-producing circulation features. These biases appear to be smallest in the Tropics and, consequently, the winds here can be very useful for studies of the average circulation at low latitu...
متن کاملLarge-scale Motions in the Universe: Observations and Simulations
The peculiar radial velocities of eight clusters of galaxies, as determined from a variety of distance indicators, are consistent with a bulk flow not greatly different in direction and magnitude from the velocity vector of the Local Group relative to the microwave background radiation. The bulk flow vector is directed to l = 266 ± 18, b = 17 ± 15 with a magnitude of 788 ± 113 km s. N-body simu...
