Enhancement of Rossby Wave Breaking by Steep Potential Vorticity Gradients in the Winter Stratosphere
This work investigates the extent to which potential vorticity gradients affect the vertical propagation of planetary-scale Rossby waves on the edge of a stratospheric polar vortex and their eventual nonlinear saturation and breaking. Using two different numerical modeling approaches, it is shown that wave propagation and wave breaking are significantly reduced when the potential vorticity grad...
متن کاملGravity Wave Generation and Breaking Observedwith Radiosondes at Ushuaia (argentina)
High resolution radiosondes that were launched at Ushuaia (54.8S) during October-December, 1995 are examined. Episodes of high gravity wave activity are found in the lower stratosphere (from 10 km to 24 km). The enhancement of gravity wave activity is ascribed to the conjuction of two factors: gravity wave generation and Doppler-shifting. Two radiosondes with high wave activity cases are examin...
متن کاملGeneration, propagation, and breaking of an internal wave beam
We report upon an experimental study of internal gravity waves generated by the large-amplitude vertical oscillations of a circular cylinder in uniformly stratified fluid. Quantitative measurements are performed using a modified synthetic schlieren technique for strongly stratified solutions of NaCl or NaI. The oscillatory forcing leads to the development of turbulence in the region bounding th...
متن کاملSupercontinuum generation in silicon waveguides relying on wave-breaking.
Four-wave-mixing processes enabled during optical wave-breaking (OWB) are exploited in this paper for supercontinuum generation. Unlike conventional approaches based on OWB, phase-matching is achieved here for these nonlinear interactions, and, consequently, new frequency production becomes more efficient. We take advantage of this kind of pulse propagation to obtain numerically a coherent octa...
متن کاملGeneration of fast electrons by breaking of a laser-induced plasma wave.
A one-dimensional model for fast electron generation by an intense, nonevolving laser pulse propagating through an underdense plasma has been developed. Plasma wave breaking is considered to be the dominant mechanism behind this process, and wave breaking both in front of and behind the laser pulse is discussed. Fast electrons emerge as a short bunch, and the electrostatic field of this bunch i...
