Wave-Driven Zonal Flow Vacillation in the Southern Hemisphere
The variability of the zonal mean flow in the Southern Hemisphere during the period 1985–94 is studied using European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts analyses. The dominant mode of variability has approximately equivalent barotropic variations of opposite signs centered at 408 and 608S. This structure is dominant in all seasons and has similar variance in all seasons. The temporal variance of...
متن کاملA Multiple-Regime Approach to Atmospheric Zonal-Flow Vacillation
Zonalow vacillation in an idealized two-layer, global, primitive-equation model is studied in the context of multiple regimes. The spatial structure of vertically and zonally averaged zonalow variability resembles that observed in the Southern Hemisphere, with dipolar anomalies centered at 40 and 60. The probability density function (PDF) of the model's zonal ow is studied in the subspace of it...
متن کاملEddy–Zonal Flow Interactions and the Persistence of the Zonal Index
An idealized atmospheric general circulation model is used to investigate the factors controlling the time scale of intraseasonal (10–100 day) variability of the extratropical atmosphere. Persistence on these time scales is found in patterns of variability that characterize meridional vacillations of the extratropical jet. Depending on the degree of asymmetry in the model forcing, patterns take...
متن کاملEddy-Zonal Flow Feedback in the Southern Hemisphere
The variability of the zonal-mean zonal wind in the Southern Hemisphere is studied using EOF analysis and momentum budget diagnostics of NCEP Reanalysis data (1978-1997). The leading EOF of the zonal-mean zonal wind is well separated from the remaining EOF’s and represents the north/south movement of the mid-latitude jet. Analysis of the momentum budget shows that a positive feedback between th...
متن کاملthe effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends
flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
