Quantifying the Eddy Feedback and the Persistence of the Zonal Index in an Idealized Atmospheric Model
An idealized atmospheric model is employed to quantify the strength of the eddy feedback and the persistence of the zonal index. The strength of the surface frictional damping on the zonal index is varied, and an external zonal momentum forcing is included to compensate for the momentum change associated with the friction change such that the climatological jet latitude and shape are unchanged....
متن کاملEddy Influences on Hadley Circulations: Simulations with an Idealized GCM
An idealized GCM is used to investigate how the strength and meridional extent of the Hadley circulation depend on the planet radius, rotation rate, and thermal driving. Over wide parameter ranges, the strength and meridional extent of the Hadley circulation display clear scaling relations with regime transitions, which are not predicted by existing theories of axisymmetric Hadley circulations....
متن کاملResonance phenomena in a time-dependent, three-dimensional model of an idealized eddy.
We analyze the geometry of Lagrangian motion and material barriers in a time-dependent, three-dimensional, Ekman-driven, rotating cylinder flow, which serves as an idealization for an isolated oceanic eddy and other overturning cells with cylindrical geometry in the ocean and atmosphere. The flow is forced at the top through an oscillating upper lid, and the response depends on the frequency an...
متن کاملQuantifying the eddy-jet feedback strength of the annular mode in an idealized GCM and reanalysis data
The strength of the eddy-jet feedback in the midlatitude atmosphere is important for both internal variability and response to external forcing. A linear response function (LRF) that relates the temporal tendency of zonal mean temperature and zonal wind to their anomalies and external forcing is used to quantify the strength of the eddy-jet feedback associated with the annular mode in an ideali...
متن کاملEulerian and Lagrangian Isopycnal Eddy Diffusivities in the Southern Ocean of an Eddying Model
Lagrangian isopycnal diffusivities quantify the along-isopycnal mixing of any tracer with mean gradients along isopycnal surfaces. They are studied in the Southern Ocean of the 1/108 Parallel Ocean Program (POP) model using more than 50 000 float trajectories. Concurrent Eulerian isopycnal diffusivities are estimated directly from the eddy fluxes and mean tracer gradients. Consistency, spatial ...
