The Linear Stability of Nonlinear Mountain Waves: Implications for the Understanding of Severe Downslope Windstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two-dimensional vertically propagating steady state internal waves launched by the flow of stratified unboundedfluid over an obstacle of finite height are subjected to a linear stability analysis. Solution of the ...
The Structure and Energetics of Transient Eddies in a Numerical Simulation of Breaking Mountain Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results from a detailed numerical simulation of breaking mountain waves in an unbounded stratified floware analyzed in terms of the transient eddies associated with the breaking event. Upstream of the obstacle, bothhorizontal ...
On the Structural Characteristics of Steady Finite-Amplitude Mountain Waves over Bell-Shaped Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The characteristics of the two-dimensional steady state flow of unbounded stratified Boussinesq fluid over an isolated obstacle of finite height are analyzed for the simplqst case in which the incident flow speed, UO, and ...
Climate Anomalies Induced by the Arctic and Antarctic Oscillations: Glacial Maximum and Present-Day Perspectives
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on multicentury coupled climate simulations of both modern and glacial maximum conditions, this study focuses on the impact of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO) on the earth?s surface ...
Ship Waves in the Lee of Isolated Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional, linear steady-state model, which has been designed for the purpose of simulating the internal wave field which is forced by stratified flow over topography, is described in the present paper. The model ...
Barotropic Instability and Rossby Wave Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A detailed study of linear barotropic instability confirms that the concept of critical level overreflection is fundamental to the understanding of the entire family of unstable modes in this problem. This is in agreement ...
Post-Eemian Glacial Inception. Part II: Elements of a Cryospheric Moisture Pump
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper extends the analyses of the glacial inception process described in a previous paper (?Part I: The Impact of Summer Seasonal Temperature Bias?). The analyses described therein were based upon the use of the ...
Post-Eemian Glacial Inception. Part I: The Impact of Summer Seasonal Temperature Bias
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Post-Eemian glacial inception [the transition between marine oxygen isotopic stage (MOIS) 5e and MOIS 5d] began approximately 117 000 years before present (117 kyr BP) and led to significant Northern Hemisphere glaciation ...
Dansgaard–Oeschger Oscillations in a Coupled Atmosphere–Ocean Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A reduced model of the global thermohaline circulation has been asynchronously coupled to a simple energy balance climate model in order to investigate the natural variability of the overturning circulation that may have ...
