The Impact of Rough Forcing on Systems with Multiple Time Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a series of numerical experiments, Williamson and Temperton demonstrated that the interaction of the high-frequency gravity waves with the low-frequency Rossby waves in a three-dimensional adiabatic model is very weak. ...
Analysis of Periodic Updating for Systems with Multiple Timescales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current meteorological observational networks are capable of observing only a limited number of the dependent variables that describe the state of the atmosphere. For example, the large-scale temperature and horizontal ...
Reduced Systems for the Shallow Water Equations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We consider smooth solutions of the shallow water equations restricted only by the assumption that the magnitude of the deviation of the geopotential from the mean is small relative to that mean. For such solutions we find ...
The Role of Gravity Waves in Slowly Varying in Time Mesoscale Motions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pressure oscillations with amplitudes of the deviations from the horizontal mean and periods considerably less than those for the large-scale case have been observed in a number of summer and winter storms. However, there ...
Initialization of the Primitive Equations by the Bounded Derivative Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Large-amplitude high-frequency motions can appear in the solution of a hyperbolic system containing multiple time scales unless the initial conditions are suitably adjusted through a process called initialization. We observe ...
Splitting Methods for Problems with Different Timescales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The time step for the leapfrog scheme for a symmetric hyperbolic system with multiple timescales is limited by the Courant-Friedlichs-Lewy condition based on the fastest speed present. However, in many physical cases, most ...
Multiscale Bounded Derivative Initialization for an Arbitrary Domain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The bounded derivative theory (BDT) for hyperbolic systems with multiple timescales was originally applied to the initialization problem for large-scale shallow-water flows in the midlatitudes and near the equator. Concepts ...
The Role of Gravity Waves in Slowly Varying in Time Tropospheric Motions near the Equator
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mathematical theory was recently developed on the relationship between the dominant and gravity wave components of the slowly varying in time solutions (solutions varying on the advective timescale) corresponding to ...
Comments on “Observations of a Mesoscale Ducted Gravity Wave”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recently, a mathematical theory has been developed that proves that there are two main components of the solution of the forced dynamical system that describes a mesoscale storm driven by cooling and heating processes. The ...
