Climatological Ertel's potential-vorticity ̄ux and mean meridional circulation in the extratropical troposphere ± lower stratosphere
We investigated to what extent the isentropic, non-geostrophic formulation of zonally averaged circulation derived for stratospheric conditions is applicable to climatological transport in the extratropical troposphere and lower stratosphere. The study is based on 10 years of daily data of ECMWF analysis and on the ECHAM3 climate model of the German Climate Computing Centre. The main result is ...
متن کامل5. the Mean Meridional Circulation
(3) Here the square brackets denote zonal means, RΤ is the net radiation at the top of the atmosphere, and a time average has been used to eliminate the tendency term. Eq. (3) expresses the requirement of total energy balance for a “ring” of air along a latitude circle. By further integration of (3) with respect to latitude, we can obtain the meridional energy transport by the atmosphere, with ...
متن کاملExplicit wave-averaged primitive equations using a Generalized Lagrangian Mean
The generalized Langrangian mean theory provides exact equations for general wave-turbulence-mean flow interactions in three dimensions. For practical applications, these equations must be closed by specifying the wave forcing terms. Here an approximate closure is obtained under the hypotheses of small surface slope, weak horizontal gradients of the water depth and mean current, and weak curvat...
متن کاملAn Introduction to the Generalized Lagrangian-mean Description of Wave, Mean-flow Interaction'
The generalized Lagrangian-mean description is motivated a n d illustrated by means of some simple examples of interactions between waves and mean flows, confining attention for the most part to waves of infinitesimal amplitude. The direct manner in which the theoretical description leads to the wave-action concept and related results, and also to the various 'noninteraction' theorems, more acc...
متن کاملOn the Annual Variation of the Monthly Mean Meridional Circulation
Data for a 5-yr period from a dense network of upper air stations have been used to determine the annual cycle in the mean meridional circulation north of 15's. Only during the transition months April, May and October, November is there some degree of symmetry with respect to the Equator. During the other months of the year, the Hadley cell of the winter hemisphere with a maximum strength of ab...
