Dynamics of Barotropic Storm Tracks
Longitudinal variations in the upper-tropospheric time-mean flow strongly modulate the structure and amplitude of upper-tropospheric eddies. This barotropic modulation is studied using simple models of wave propagation through zonally varying basic states that consist of contours separating regions of uniform barotropic potential vorticity. Such basic states represent in a simple manner the pot...
متن کاملDownstream Self-Destruction of Storm Tracks
The Northern Hemisphere storm tracks have maximum intensity over the Pacific and Atlantic basins; their intensity is reduced over the continents downstream. Here, simulations with an idealized aquaplanet general circulation model are used to demonstrate that even without continents, storm tracks have a self-determined longitudinal length scale. Their length is controlled primarily by the planet...
متن کاملSocietal impacts of storm damage
Wind damage to forests can be divided into (1) the direct damage done to the forest and (2) indirect effects. Indirect effects may be of different kinds and may affect the environment as well as society. For example, falling trees can lead to power and telecommunication failures or blocking of roads. The salvage harvest of fallen trees is another example and one that involves extremely dangerou...
متن کاملSTORM FOREST DAMAGE MAPPING BASED ON VHR InSAR DATA
Remote sensing can be a good, effective and economic method to realise damage mapping consecutive to an extreme storm such as the one in December 1999 which severely hit Western Europe forests. Many recent studies tend to highlight this geomatic solution through high resolution optical and radar data. Here, the question asked is if higher resolution data give more efficient results. The French ...
متن کاملA Linear Stochastic Model of a GCM’s Midlatitude Storm Tracks
A linear stochastic model is used to simulate the midlatitude storm tracks produced by an atmospheric GCM. A series of six perpetual insolation/SST GCM experiments are first performed for each month. These experiments capture the ‘‘midwinter suppression’’ of the Pacific storm track in a particularly clean way. The stochastic model is constructed by linearizing the GCM about its January climatol...
