Effects of the Radial Law of Depth on the Instability of Inertia Oscillations in Rotating Fluids
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Systematic changes in the finite-amplitude vortex instability of axisymmetric elastoid-inertia oscillations in circular bodies of fluid with a quadratic law of depth are shown to occur depending on whether the depth increases ...
Influence of the Size, Shape and Orientation of the Earthquake Source Area in the Shumagin Seismic Gap on the Resulting Tsunami
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The directional properties of tsunamis generated by circular and elongated sources are being studied by means of maximum amplitude contours. For the tsunami source located in the Gulf of Alaska along the Aleutian Islands, ...
On Recent Climate Trends in Selected Salmon-Hatching Areas of British Columbia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Trends in monthly precipitation, temperature, water equivalent of the snowpack, and streamflow are investigated for stations in three local areas in interior British Columbia of interest for hatching of salmon on the Adams ...
A Numerical Model for Wind-Driven Circulation in Lakes Michigan and Huron
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical model of time-dependent wind-driven currents in Lakes Michigan and Huron is investigated. The dynamical model is for a homogeneous lake involving only vertical turbulent mixing. After reduction from 3 to 2 space ...
Explosive Cyclogenesis over the Northeast Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data on explosively developing extratropical cyclones over the northeast portion of the Pacific Ocean have been compiled. A climatology of those events which deepened by 1 Bergeron (24 mb day?1 deepening at 60°N) or more ...
