Anisotropic Lagrangian Dispersion in Rotating Flows with a β Effect
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: detailed analysis of Lagrangian tracer dispersion is performed on datasets obtained from laboratory experiments that simulate rotating turbulence in the presence of a ? effect. Compatible with the limitations of the ...
Markov Chain Approach to a Process with Long-Time Memory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors show that long-term memory effects, present in the chaotic dispersion process generated by a meandering jet model, can be nonetheless taken into account by a first-order Markov process, provided that the states ...
3D Chaotic Model for Subgrid Turbulent Dispersion in Large Eddy Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 3D multiscale kinematic velocity field is introduced as a model to simulate Lagrangian turbulent dispersion. The incompressible velocity field is a nonlinear deterministic function, periodic in space and time, that ...
Mixing in a Meandering Jet: A Markovian Approximation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mixing and transport in correspondence of a meandering jet are investigated. The large-scale flow field is a kinematically assigned streamfunction. Two basic mixing mechanisms are considered separately and in combination: ...
Evidence for a k−5/3 Spectrum from the EOLE Lagrangian Balloons in the Low Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The EOLE experiment is revisited to study turbulent processes in the lower stratosphere circulation from a Lagrangian viewpoint and to resolve a discrepancy on the slope of the atmospheric energy spectrum between the work ...
Lagrangian Drifter Dispersion in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n the framework of Monitoring by Ocean Drifters (MONDO) project, a set of Lagrangian drifters were released in proximity of the Brazil Current, the western branch of the subtropical gyre in the South Atlantic Ocean. The ...
