Predictability in Wet and Dry Convective Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There is a growing interest in understanding the role that moisture plays in atmospheric dynamics, particularly in its effect on predictability. Current research indicates that when moisture effects are added to an atmospheric ...
Small-Scale Moist Turbulence in Numerically Generated Convective Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors present simulations of cloud-free and cloudy, nonprecipitating, convective turbulence at spatial resolutions down to ?x = 2.6 m for a domain size of (1 km)3. The runs are analyzed with attention focused on the ...
Predictability of Rotating Stratified Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although predictability represents one of the fundamental problems in atmospheric science, gaps in our knowledge remain. Theoretical understanding of the inverse error cascade is limited mostly to homogeneous, isotropic ...
Dissipation of Synoptic-Scale Flow by Small-Scale Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although it is now accepted that imbalance in the atmosphere and ocean is generic, the feedback of the unbalanced motion on the balanced flow has not received much attention. In this work the parameterization problem is ...
Microscopic Approach to Cloud Droplet Growth by Condensation. Part II: Turbulence, Clustering, and Condensational Growth
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The goal of this work is to answer the question of whether nonuniformity in the spatial distribution of sizes and positions of cloud droplets and/or variable vertical velocity in a turbulent medium can contribute to the ...
