Flow response to large-scale topography: the Greenland tip jet
Numerical model simulations of idealized and observed flows are used to investigate the dynamics of low-level jet streams that form in stratified flow downstream of the vertex of large elliptical barriers such as the southern tip of Greenland, hereafter referred to as ‘‘tip jets’’. The tip jet dynamics are governed by conservation of Bernouli function as parcels accelerate down the pressure gra...
متن کاملResponse of the large-scale subglacial drainage system of Northeast Greenland to surface elevation changes
The influence of subglacial water on the dynamics of ice flow has been the object of increasing interest in the past decade. In this study we focus on large-scale, longterm changes in surface elevation over Northeast Greenland and the corresponding changes in subglacial water routeways. Our results show that over timescales ranging from decades to millennia the area may experience redistributio...
متن کاملThe Response of Fluvial Systems to Large Flood Events
In the summer of 2001, an intense thunderstorm in southeastern Caspian Sea triggered a catastrophic flood in the Madarsoo basin . Use of methods including high-resolution aerial photographs and satellite images interpretation, multi-date mapping, hydraulic calculations and field observations made possible the documentation of the geomorphic impacts on the Madarsoo River and its tributaries. Geo...
متن کاملCrude closure for flow with topography through large-scale statistical theory
Crude closure algorithms based on equilibrium statistical theories are developed here for prototypical geophysical flows involving barotropic flow over topography. These algorithms are developed utilizing the simplest energy–enstrophy statistical theory for flow with topography. Only a single parameter, the energy, is tracked by the algorithm and the entire flow structure is predicted through t...
متن کاملLarge scale simulations of the jet-IGM interaction
Abstract. In a parameter study extending to jet densities of 10 times the ambient one, I have recently shown that light large scale jets start their lives in a spherical bow shock phase. This allows an easy description of the sideways bow shock propagation in that phase. Here, I present new, bipolar, simulations of very light jets in 2.5D and 3D, reaching the observationally relevant scale of >...
