Ageostrophic Effects on the Stratospheric Residual Circulation and Tracer Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have examined an idealized, zonally averaged, nonlinear, ageostrophic circulation forced by differential heating and parameterized eddy mixing for a range of mixing values and boundary conditions. Using a simple ƒ-plane ...
A Dynamical Explanation for the Asymmetry in Zonally Averaged Column Abundances of Ozone between Northern and Southern Springs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The observed zonally averaged column ozone shows a maximum at 90°N during the northern winter and spring and at 60°S throughout the southern winter and spring. This asymmetry is explained in the context of a zonally averaged ...
An Evaluation of the Role of Eddy Diffusion in Stratospheric Interactive Two-Dimensional Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of eddy diffusion in an interactive two-dimensional model of the stratosphere is reexamined. The model consists of a primitive equation dynamics module, a simplified HOx ozone model and a full radiative transfer ...
An Estimation of the Climatic Effects of Stratospheric Ozone Losses during the 1980s
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In order to study the potential climatic effects of the ozone hole more directly and to assess the validity of previous lower resolution model results, the latest high spatial resolution version of the Atmospheric and ...
