Shear Instability in a Shallow Water Model with Implications for the Venus Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The shear instability problem in the spherical shallow water system is investigated for three types of wind profiles that are observed at the upper cloud level in Venus. Destabilized Kelvin modes are obtained for all ...
Multiscale Organization of Convection Simulated with Explicit Cloud Processes on an Aquaplanet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigated the multiscale organization of tropical convection on an aquaplanet in a model experiment with a horizontal mesh size of 3.5 km (for a 10-day simulation) and 7 km (for a 40-day simulation). The ...
Mountain-Wave-Like Spurious Waves Associated with Simulated Cold Fronts due to Inconsistencies between Horizontal and Vertical Resolutions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A newly developed global nonhydrostatic model is used for life cycle experiments (LCEs) of baroclinic waves, and the resolution dependency of frontal structures is examined. LCEs are integrated for 12 days with horizontal ...
Sensitivity of Hadley Circulation to Physical Parameters and Resolution through Changing Upper-Tropospheric Ice Clouds Using a Global Cloud-System Resolving Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he relationship between upper-tropospheric ice cloud properties and the Hadley circulation intensity is examined through parameter sensitivity studies of global cloud-system-resolving simulations with explicit cloud ...
Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves Simulated on an Aquaplanet in a Global Nonhydrostatic Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Large-scale tropical convective disturbances simulated in a 7-km-mesh aquaplanet experiment are investigated. A 40-day simulation was executed using the Nonhydrostatic Icosahedral Atmospheric Model (NICAM). Two scales of ...
Response of Upper Clouds in Global Warming Experiments Obtained Using a Global Nonhydrostatic Model with Explicit Cloud Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing a global nonhydrostatic model with explicit cloud processes, upper-cloud changes are investigated by comparing the present climate condition under the perpetual July setting and the global warming condition, in which ...
