Seasonality of synoptic eddy feedback and the AO/NAO
[1] In this paper, by using a dynamic model with synoptic eddy and low-frequency flow (SELF) interaction, we show that the SELF feedback is of significant importance for the formation of the AO/NAO in both winter and summer. Although background storm activity is significantly weaker in summer than that in winter, the positive SELF feedback associated with the AO/NAO mode in summer can be as str...
متن کاملTransformed eddy-PV flux and positive synoptic eddy feedback onto low-frequency flow
Interaction between synoptic eddy and lowfrequency flow (SELF) has been the subject of many studies. In this study, we further examine the interaction by introducing a transformed eddy-potential-vorticity (TEPV) flux that is obtained from eddy-potential-vorticity flux through a quasi-geostrophic potential-vorticity inversion. The main advantage of using the TEPV flux is that it combines the eff...
متن کاملAnnular modes and apparent eddy feedbacks in the Southern Hemisphere
Lagged correlation analysis is often used to infer intraseasonal dynamical effects but is known to be affected by nonstationarity. We highlight a pronounced quasi 2 year peak in the anomalous zonal wind and eddy momentum flux convergence power spectra in the Southern Hemisphere, which is prima facie evidence for nonstationarity. We then investigate the consequences of this nonstationarity for t...
متن کاملModelling the Synoptic Scale Relationship between Eddy Heat Flux
A simple statistical-dynamical model relating synoptic scale changes in the meridional temperature gradient to changes in the meridional eddy sensible heat flux is developed. The model solution is compared with observations relating the flux to the stability parameter for the two layer model which, assuming the variance of the critical shear in the two layer model is negligible, is equivalent t...
متن کاملEddy-Mediated Regime Transitions in the Seasonal Cycle of a Hadley Circulation and Implications for Monsoon Dynamics
In a simulation of seasonal cycles with an idealized general circulation model without a hydrologic cycle and with zonally symmetric boundary conditions, the Hadley cells undergo transitions between two regimes distinguishable according to whether large-scale eddy momentum fluxes strongly or weakly influence the strength of a cell. The center of the summer and equinox Hadley cell lies in a lati...
