Wind profile effects on gravity wave drag and their impact on the global atmospheric circulation Supervisors:
The drag force associated with gravity waves generated by flow over the world’s mountain ranges tends to decelerate the large-scale atmospheric circulation, and must be parametrized in global weather prediction and climate models, since it is still not adequately resolved by those models. Such parametrizations have proved to be of crucial importance for improving the skill of weather forecasts....
متن کاملAtmospheric Gravity Waves and their Effects on the Global Circulation
A fundamental difficulty in modeling global atmospheric circulation is the strong interaction among motions on a wide range of space and time scales. Explicit numerical representation of all the spatial scales that determine the global atmospheric circulation is impractical. An example of such difficulties is the effect of small-scale inertia-gravity waves on the circulation. Inertia-gravity wa...
متن کاملWave and Circulation Prediction on Unstructured Grids
The long term goal of this research is to significantly advance computational models for multi-scale flow physics in geometrically and/or hydrodynamically complex oceanic and coastal ocean environments, through refinements in the defined physics, domain definition and computational grid resolution. The particular focus is on improved coupling of spectral wave models and circulation models withi...
