Effective Isentropic Diffusivity of Tropospheric Transport
Tropospheric transport can be described qualitatively by the slow mean diabatic circulation and rapid isentropic mixing, yet a quantitative understanding of the transport circulation is complicated, as nearly half of the isentropic surfaces in the troposphere frequently intersect the ground. A theoretical framework for the effective isentropic diffusivity of tropospheric transport is presented....
متن کاملEffective Diffusivity in Baroclinic Flow
Large-scale chaotic stirring stretches tracer contours into filaments containing fine spatial scales until smallscale diffusive processes dissipate tracer variance. Quantification of tracer transport in such circumstances is possible through the use of Nakamura’s ‘‘effective diffusivity’’ diagnostics, which make clear the controlling role of stirring, rather than small-scale dissipation, in lar...
متن کاملThe effective diffusivity of cellular flows
In the previous chapter we dealt with unidirectional flows. Now we turn to the slightly more complicated case of incompressible two-dimensional cellular flows. The velocity field can be obtained from a streamfunction ψ(x, y) according to our usual convention u = (u, v) = (−ψy, ψx). The domain is a periodic array of square cells, each with side , so that the streamfunction has the periodicity ψ(...
متن کاملOptimal Transport for the System of Isentropic Euler Equations
We introduce a new variational time discretization for the system of isentropic Euler equations. In each timestep the internal energy is reduced as much as possible, subject to a constraint imposed by a new cost functional that measures the deviation of particles from their characteristic paths.
