A Third - Law Isentropic Analysis of a Simulated
The moist-air entropy can be used to analyze and better understand the general circulation of the atmosphere or convective motions. Isentropic analyses are commonly based on studies of different equivalent potential temperatures, all of which are assumed to fully represent the entropy of moist air. It is, however, possible to rely on statistical physics or the third law of thermodynamics when d...
متن کاملReplicating annual North Atlantic hurricane activity 1878–2012 from environmental variables
Statistical models can replicate annual North Atlantic hurricane activity from large-scale environmental field data for August and September, the months of peak hurricane activity. We assess how well the six environmental fields used most often in contemporary statistical modeling of seasonal hurricane activity replicate North Atlantic hurricane numbers and Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) over...
متن کاملNew perspectives on superparameterization for geophysical turbulence
This is a research expository paper regarding superparameterization, a class of multi-scale numerical methods designed to cope with the intermittent multi-scale effects of inhomogeneous geophysical turbulence where energy often inverse-cascades from the unresolved scales to the large scales through the effects of waves, jets, vortices, and latent heat release from moist processes. Original as w...
متن کاملFundamental Studies In Tropical Cyclone Structure & Intensity Change
Focusing on dynamical and thermodynamical processes germane to the hurricane’s core region, this research aims to obtain a more complete understanding of key atmospheric processes governing hurricane structure and intensity. This year (beginning May 2002) we have continued our work on the moist dynamics of the hurricane eye/eyewall and the dry dynamics of a hurricane-like vortex in vertical she...
متن کاملImpact of CO2-Induced Warming on Simulated Hurricane Intensity and Precipitation: Sensitivity to the Choice of Climate Model and Convective Parameterization
Previous studies have found that idealized hurricanes, simulated under warmer, high-CO 2 conditions, are more intense and have higher precipitation rates than under present-day conditions. The present study explores the sensitivity of this result to the choice of climate model used to define the CO2-warmed environment and to the choice of convective parameterization used in the nested regional ...
