Abstract: Based upon an argument by Charney and Eliassen, a tropical cyclone is envisaged as a combined system of a quasi-gradient circular vortex and a slow meridional circulation. The driving mechanism of this circulation is the ...

Abstract: The modification of the power spectrum for the Laplacian of a variable, associated with the use of finite differences instead of derivatives, is discussed for an isotropic scalar field. The results permit one to specify a ...

Abstract: As a preliminary attempt to investigate the applicability of the turbulence theory to the large-scale atmospheric phenomena, the experimental test is made of the isotropy for the large-scale motion of the atmosphere at the ...

Abstract: An attempt is made to see what the results of the application of the methods of Heisenberg are to isotropic temperature fluctuations in a stationary isotropic turbulence, under the restriction that temperature differences ...

Abstract: The equations of motion for an incompressible fluid have been integrated numerically, as an initial value problem, for the axially-symmetric motion produced by release of an isolated lighter mass of the same fluid. The ...

Abstract: Numerical integrations are performed for the equations governing two-dimensional convection flows in a fluid layer confined between two horizontal parallel plates and heated uniformly from below with free surface boundary ...

Abstract: A model of cumulus clouds is presented that combines the vertical equation of motion, the equation of mass continuity, the first law of thermodynamics, and the following cloud microphysical processes: condensation of water ...

Abstract: The adaptation of the deep convection equations of Ogura and Phillips to moist convection results in an implicit relationship between temperature, potential temperature, pressure, and saturation vapor pressure. Typically, ...

Abstract: Numerical integrations are performed for the equations governing two-dimensional convection flows in a fluid confined between two horizontal plates. A situation considered here is that local heating at a time-independent ...

Abstract: Axisymmetric and slab-symmetric cumulus cloud models with Kessler's parameterizations for microphysical processes are developed. By using a staggered grid arrangement and applying a modified upstream difference scheme, ...
