Abstract: Two categories of theories have been proposed to explain the observed tropical intraseasonal oscillations whose main periodicity is between 30?50 days: (i) those based on eastward propagating Kelvin waves maintained by ...

Abstract: Tropical heating due to latent heat release has been proposed as a source that may influence midlatitude weather through teleconnection patterns. However, such heating is usually-internal (with the maximum in the midtroposphere) ...

Abstract: Using a linearized model with constant mean wind on an equatorial ?-plane, two types of atmospheric response to steady tropical forcing are studied by an eigenmode analysis. The first type is the less rotationally trapped ...

Abstract: In this study, nonlinear effects of barotropic instability in a downstream varying easterly jet are studied and compared with previous linear model results of Tupaz and others. The barotropic vorticity equation with Rayleigh ...

Abstract: Mix is a critical input to hydro simulations used in modeling chemical or nuclear reaction processes in fluids. It has been identified as a possible cause of performance degradation in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) ...

Abstract: Detailed near- and far-field acoustic measurements were conducted for two circular stepped nozzles with 30 deg and 60 deg design inclinations at over- and perfectly-expanded supersonic jet flow conditions and compared to ...
