Abstract: This paper describes laboratory observations of inertia?gravity waves emitted from balanced fluid flow. In a rotating two-layer annulus experiment, the wavelength of the inertia?gravity waves is very close to the deformation ...

Abstract: The compositions of the atmospheres of the outer planets are dominated by molecular hydrogen. The hydrogen ortho and para forms (proton spins parallel and antiparallel) are observed to have ratios that are not in thermodynamic ...

Abstract: AbstractThe response of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) to an imposed mean upwelling with a periodic modulation is studied, by modeling the dynamics of the zero wind line at the equator using a class of equations known ...

Abstract: The banded organization of clouds and zonal winds in the atmospheres of the outer planets has long fascinated observers. Several recent studies in the theory and idealized modeling of geostrophic turbulence have suggested ...
