Upper Atmospheric Thermal Structure of Jupiter With Convective Heat Transfer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: When radiative transfer is the dominant mechanism cooling the lower thermosphere of Jupiter, CH4, (7.7?) is probably the dominant cooling agent; however, its low turbopause mixing ratio (10?4, as compared to 10?3 in the ...
U.S. West Coast Surface Heat Fluxes, Wind Stress, and Wind Stress Curl from a Mesoscale Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monthly averages of numerical model fields are beneficial for depicting patterns in surface forcing such as sensible and latent heat fluxes, wind stress, and wind stress curl over data-sparse ocean regions. Grid resolutions ...
Island Wake Dynamics and Wake Influence on the Evaporation Duct and Radar Propagation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The conditions under which atmospheric island wakes form leeward of Kauai, Hawaii, are investigated using idealized numerical simulations and real data forecasts from the U.S. Navy's Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Mesoscale ...
