RISTime-Varying Response of ENSO-Induced Tropical Pacific Rainfall to Global Warming in CMIP5 Models. Part II: Intermodel Uncertainty
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAnomalous rainfall in the tropical Pacific driven by El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a crucial pathway of ENSO?s global impacts. The changes in ENSO rainfall under global warming vary among the models, even ...
The Barotropic Normal Modes in Certain Shear Flows and the Traveling Waves in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is shown analytically and numerically that in certain shear flows the linearized nondivergent barotropic vorticity equation has a limited number of neutral normal modes. The latitudinal structures of these shear flows ...
Adaptive Hybrid Function Projective Synchronization of General Chaotic Complex Systems With Different Orders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A lot of progress has been made in the research of hybrid function projective synchronization (HFPS) for chaotic real nonlinear systems, while the HFPS of two different chaotic complex nonlinear systems with nonidentical ...
The Influences of Zonal Flow on Wave Breaking and Tropical-Extratropical Interaction in the Lower Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influences of the zonal-mean flow on Rossby wave breaking and tropical-extratropical interaction in the lower stratosphere are investigated using a high-resolution barotropic model. It is found that the zonal-mean wind ...
Thermally Forced Stationary Waves in a Quasigeostrophic System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analytical solutions of thermally forced stationary waves in a linear quasigeostrophic model are obtained. It is found that the zonal flow has a profound impact on the structure of the responses. The inviscid solutions on ...
On the Mass-Flux Representation of Vertical Transport in Moist Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates to what extent the convective fluxes formulated within the mass-flux framework can represent the total vertical transport of heat and moisture in the cloud layer and whether the same approach can be ...
The Role of the Dynamic Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions in Tropical Seasonal Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of dynamic ocean-atmosphere interactions on the evolution of the tropical seasonal cycle is explored using a simple coupled model. It is shown that the seasonal cycle in the coupled system can be divided into two ...
New Dynamic Participation Factor for Turbine-Generator Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper proposes a new dynamic participation factor (DPF) for analysis and design of structures supporting rotational machines, especially large turbine generators. The new DPF takes into account the distribution patterns ...
Foreword to Special Issue on Micro/Nanoscale Heat and Mass Transfer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The second ASME Micro/Nanoscale Heat and Mass Transfer International Conference (MNHMT09) was held in Shanghai on Dec. 18–21, 2009 (http:/www.asmeconference.org/MNHMT09). The conference was intended ...
Longshore Sediment Flux in Water Column and across Surf Zone
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Streamer sediment traps were used to measure the distribution of longshore sediment flux in the surf zone at 29 locations along the southeast coast of the United States and the Gulf coast of Florida. Measurements were ...
