Effects of Rotation on Convective Plumes from Line Segment Sources
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Effects of rotation on finite-length line plumes are studied with a three-dimensional nonhydrostatic numerical model. Geophysical convection with this source geometry occurs, for example, as the result of fissure releases ...
Setting the length Scale in a Second-Order Closure Model Of the Unstratified Bottom Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Frequently the mixing length l in second-order closure models is assumed to have a constant value l0 = ?L at large distances from the bottom with a magnitude proportional to the first moment L of turbulent intensity. ...
Prospecting for Hydrothermal Vents Using Moored Current and Temperature Data: Axial Volcano on the Juan de Fuca Ridge, Northeast Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tidal and inertial currents and profuse hydrothermal discharge at recently erupted Axial Volcano, Juan de Fuca Ridge, cause relatively large and rapid temperature (T) changes in the near-bottom water column. Measurements ...
