Abstract: It has been proposed by Allen and Joseph, Hines, and Chunchuzov that the kinematic advection produced by superpositions of sinusoidal Lagrangian gravity waves confined to lower vertical wavenumbers m provides an explanation ...

Abstract: A growing body of literature has been built on the premise that kinematic advection produced by linear superpositions of sinusoidal Lagrangian gravity waves confined to lower vertical wavenumbers can provide an explanation ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical model is used to calculate the nonlinear evolution of Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) billows for various Reynolds numbers in the range where the turbulent collapse of the waves is expected. The onset of ...

Abstract: This paper uses a time-dependent ray-tracing model to study focusing of gravity wave energy propagating upward through a wavelike background whose phases are descending?the dominant middle-atmosphere case. It demonstrates ...

Abstract: This paper reveals relationships among linear instabilities of internal gravity waves often supposed to be independent. Using a Floquet analysis of a monochromatic wave propagating in a uniformly stratified background ...

Abstract: Mesoscale cloud clusters are a frequently observed feature of the tropical atmosphere and are primarily responsible for the observed large-scale vertical mass flux. Given that the forcing for such convection comes from ...
