Preliminary Results of Experiments with Symmetric Baroclinic Instabilities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experiment has been designed to test the predictions of nongeostrophic baroclinic stability theory. The apparatus is similar to the conventional rotating annulus experiments, except that the vertical temperature difference ...
Direct Thermal Verification of Symmetric Baroclinic Instability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Direct temperature measurements are reported for two rotating annulus experiments. One shows the flow pattern interpreted by Stone et al. as a manifestation of symmetric baroclinic (inertial) instability, and the other ...
