RISA Diagnostic Ice–Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A coupled ice?ocean model suitable for simulating ice?ocean circulation over a seasonal cycle is developed by coupling the dynamic thermodynamic sea ice model of Hibler with a multilevel baroclinic ocean model (Bryan). ...
Short-Wave Signatures of Stratospheric Mountain Wave Breaking
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent stratospheric mountain wave measurements over the Sierra Nevada indicate that downgoing secondary waves may be common or even ubiquitous in large wave events. Because of their short wavelengths, they may dominate ...
Energy Flux and Wavelet Diagnostics of Secondary Mountain Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In recent years, aircraft data from mountain waves have been primarily analyzed using velocity and temperature power spectrum and momentum flux estimation. Herein it is argued that energy flux wavelets (i.e., pressure?velocity ...
Interhemispheric Asymmetry in the Transient Response of a Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Model to a CO2 Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical experiments are carried out using a general circulation model of a coupled ocean-atmosphere system with idealized geography, exploring the transient response of climate to a rapid increase of atmospheric carbon ...
A Downscaled Wind Climatology on the Outer Continental Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 31-yr time series of boundary layer winds has been developed for a region on the outer continental shelf. This simulated time series was designed to be suitable to study the wind resources for a potential offshore wind ...
Spectral Estimates of Dissipation Rate within and near the Surf Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three-dimensional point velocity measurements from within and near the surf zone are used to examine changes in turbulent dissipation rate with location relative to the breakpoint and wave conditions. To separate turbulence ...
Correcting for Position Errors in Variational Data Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Feature Calibration and Alignment technique (FCA) has been developed to characterize errors that a human would ascribe to a change in the position or intensity of a coherent feature, such as a hurricane. Here the feature ...
Transient Responses of a Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Model to Gradual Changes of Atmospheric CO2. Part I. Annual Mean Response
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the response of a climate model to a gradual increase or decrease of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The model is a general circulation model of the coupled atmosphere-ocean-land surface system with ...
Mountain Waves Entering the Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using the National Science Foundation (NSF)?NCAR Gulfstream V and the NSF?Wyoming King Air research aircraft during the Terrain-Induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX) in March?April 2006, six cases of Sierra Nevada mountain waves ...
