Midlatitude Tropopause and Low-level Moisture
A new relationship between the surface distribution of equivalent potential temperature and the potential temperature at the tropopause is proposed. Using a Gaussian approximation for the distribution of equivalent potential temperature, we argue that the tropopause potential temperature is approximately given by the mean equivalent potential temperature at the surface plus twice its standard d...
متن کاملThe Mathematical Theory of Frontogenesis
For over one hundred years it has been known that atmospheric depressions have cold frontal regions in which typically the temperature falls rapidly, the wind changes, and precipitation occurs. Sixty years ago Norwegian meteorologists shaped their polar front model in which depressions were considered to grow on a preexisting sloping thermal discontinuity; as the depressions grew it was conside...
متن کاملRNA folding: beyond Watson-Crick pairs.
Several crystal structures of RNA fragments, alone or in complex with a specific protein, have been recently solved. In addition, the structures of an artificial ribozyme, the leadzyme, and the cleavage product of a human pathogen ribozyme, have extended the structural diversity of ribozyme architectures. The attained set of folding rules and motifs expand the repertoire seen previously in tRNA...
متن کاملMid-tropospheric Frontogenesis and Potential Vorticity
Mid-tropospheric frontogenesis is investigated for a case study in which special three-hourly rawinsonde data are available. Isentropic analyses are generated by objective means. Detailed machine isentropic trajectories lead to the three-dimensional description of the velocity field in space and time accompanying the frontogenesis. Ertel potential vorticity calculations serve as a check on traj...
متن کاملOceanic restratification forced by surface frontogenesis
Potential vorticity (PV) conservation implies a strong constraint on the time evolution of the mean density at a given depth. We show that, on an f -plane and in the absence of sources and sinks of PV, it only depends on two terms, namely the time evolution of the product between density anomaly and relative vorticity, and the vertical PV flux. This primitive-equation result, that applies at an...
