The Mutual Variation of Wind , Shear , and Baroclinicity in the Cumulus Convective Atmosphere of the Hurricane
The enhanced cumulus convection in tropical disturbances acts in two opposing ways. In one sense the condensation heat from the cumulus acts to warm the inner portions of the disturbance and induce vertical shear of the horizontal wind through the thermal wind relationship. In the opposite sense the cumulus also act to suppress vertical wind shear by transfer of horizontal momentum within their...
متن کاملAdaptive simulations of trade cumulus convection
Many problems in meteorology are being studied with the use of mesh reenement to focus computational eeort on particular regions within the domain. This paper presents a form of adaptive mesh reenement based on hierarchical reenement in space and time for studying atmospheric con-vection and other geophysical ows where the phenomena of interest occupy a small but spatially distributed fraction ...
متن کاملThe Environment of Precipitating Shallow Cumulus Convection
Quantitative estimates of precipitation in a typical undisturbed trade wind region are derived from 2 months of radar reflectivity data and compared to the meteorological environment determined from soundings, surface flux, and airborne-lidar data. Shallow precipitation was ubiquitous, covering on average about 2% of the region and contributing to at least half of the total precipitation. Echo ...
متن کاملHow the Nonextensivity Parameter Affects Energy Fluctuations
In this article, the effect of the nonextensivity parameter on the energy fluctuations of nonextensive systems is studied in two different versions of the Tsallis statistical mechanics. Once a general expression has been reported for the energy fluctuations in the second version (Tsallis work in 1988), the energy fluctuations of an ideal gas and a harmonic oscillator are studied in the second a...
متن کاملLake-size dependency of wind shear and convection as controls on gas exchange
[1] High-frequency physical observations from 40 temperate lakes were used to examine the relative contributions of wind shear (u*) and convection (w*) to turbulence in the surface mixed layer. Seasonal patterns of u* and w* were dissimilar; u* was often highest in the spring, while w* increased throughout the summer to a maximum in early fall. Convection was a larger mixed-layer turbulence sou...
