Tracking Surface Cyclones with Moist Potential Vorticity
Surface cyclone tracks are investigated in the context of moist potential vorticity (MPV). A prognostic equation of surface absolute vorticity is derived which provides a basis for using negative MPV (NMPV) in the troposphere as an alternative approach to track surface cyclones. An observed case study of explosive lee cyclogenesis is performed to test the effectiveness of the MPV approach. It i...

متن کاملShort and Long-Term Soil Moisture Effects of Liana Removal in a Seasonally Moist Tropical Forest
Lianas (woody vines) are particularly abundant in tropical forests, and their abundance is increasing in the neotropics. Lianas can compete intensely with trees for above- and belowground resources, including water. As tropical forests experience longer and more intense dry seasons, competition for water is likely to intensify. However, we lack an understanding of how liana abundance affects so...
متن کاملA moist model monsoon
A substantial literature takes it for granted that the prime reason for the great strength of the South Asian monsoon is the heating effect of the Tibetan plateau. On page 218 of this issue, Boos and Kuang show that what counts is the barrier posed by the mountains at the southern edge of the plateau, not the heating. This view has deep implications for our mechanistic understanding of this mon...
متن کاملHow Oxygen Penetrates Open Moist Wounds Physics of Oxygen Transport into Moist Wounds Moist Wounds “Breathe” Similar to Alveoli in Lungs – By Diffusion
In diffusion, gases (or liquids) move from an area of high concentration (partial pressure) to areas of low concentration (partial pressure). If there is a mixture of gases in a container, the pressure of each gas (partial pressure or concentration) is equal to the pressure that each gas would produce if it occupied the container alone. This applies equally well to the concentration of a gas in...
