Shear Excitation of Gravity Waves. Part II: Upscale Scattering from Kelvin-Helmholtz Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Upscale scattering of Kelvin-Helmholtz waves to gravity shear waves involves the nonlinear interaction of two Kelvin-Helmholtz waves with wavenumbers k and k? to produce a wave with wavenumber k?k?. Calculations show that ...
Shear Excitation of Gravity Waves. Part I: Modes of a Two-Scale Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The stabilities of two model tropospheric jets are compared. The first jet is a simple, smooth, idealized profile governed by a single scale length of tropospheric dimensions. The second jet takes the first model flow and ...
