An Analysis of Monthly Mean Wind Stress Over the Global Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The monthly wind stress over the global ocean has been calculated using updated climatological monthly mean wind data. The effect of the variablility of the wind has been incorporated by using the wind speed frequency ...
Numerical Study of Terrain-Induced Mesoscale Motions and Hydrostatic Form Drag in a Heated, Growing Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A four-layer three-dimensional model whose lowest layer is a time and space-dependent, well-mixed boundary layer is employed over artificial, irregular terrain on the mesoscale during a daytime heating cycle. Only if the ...
Numerical Study of Terrain-Induced Mesoscale Motions in a Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical integrations using a potential enstrophy conserving scheme are presented for the flow within a mixed layer over hilly terrain using the hydrostatic shallow-water equations with a quadratic drag law. The mesoscale ...
