A Spectral Parameterization of Mean-Flow Forcing due to Breaking Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A spectral parameterization of mean-flow forcing due to breaking gravity waves is described for application in the equations of motion in atmospheric models. The parameterization is based on linear theory and adheres closely ...
Genesis of Pre–Hurricane Felix (2007). Part I: The Role of the Easterly Wave Critical Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The formation of pre?Hurricane Felix (2007) in a tropical easterly wave is examined in a two-part study using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with a high-resolution nested grid configuration that permits ...
Some Eulerian and Lagrangian Diagnostics for a Model Stratospheric Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Some new diagnostics are presented for a wavenumber-2 sudden warming, simulated by a version of Holton's semi-spectral, primitive-equation model. First, Eliassen-Palm cross sections exhibiting the Eliassen-Palm (EP) ...
Genesis of Pre–Hurricane Felix (2007). Part II: Warm Core Formation, Precipitation Evolution, and Predictability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is the second of a two-part study examining the simulated formation of Atlantic Hurricane Felix (2007) in a cloud-representing framework. Here several open issues are addressed concerning the formation of the storm?s ...
