Parameterization of Subgrid Scale Barotropic and Baroclinic Eddies in Quasi-geostrophic Models: Anticipated Potential Vorticity Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A lateral diffusion scheme designed to efficiently parameterize the subgrid scale lures associated with barotropic and baroclinic transients is presented and tested on a quasi-geostrophic, two layer model, with law-scale ...
An Assessment of ECMWF and NCEP–NCAR Reanalyses in the Southern Hemisphere at the End of the Presatellite Era: Results from the EOLE Experiment (1971–72)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article estimates the biases and standard deviations of the 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis (ERA-40) and the 50-yr National Centers for Environmental Prediction?National ...
Structure Functions and Dispersion Laws in Two-Dimensional Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The classical phenomenological relations between dispersion laws, second-order structure functions and energy spectra are reexamined from a more quantitative standpoint. It is shown that when a nonlocal energy spectrum ...
Subgrid-Scale Modeling of Enstrophy Transfer in Two-Dimensional Turbulence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method of parameterization of the energy and enstropy transfers involving subgrid scales is proposed in order to predict the time evolution of the energy spectrum at larger scales. The method is based on the strong ...
Stratéole/Vorcore—Long-duration, Superpressure Balloons to Study the Antarctic Lower Stratosphere during the 2005 Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In September and October 2005, the Stratéole/Vorcore campaign flew 27 superpressure balloons from McMurdo, Antarctica, into the stratospheric polar vortex. Long-duration flights were successfully achieved, 16 of those ...
