RISInternal Gravity Waves in an Atmosphere with Wind Shear: Validity of the WKB Approximation at Critical Layers in the Presence of Buoyancy Forces
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The application of the WKB method to internal gravity waves in a compressible fluid with wind shear is studied from the standpoint of dispersion and of the validity of the method. It is shown that at resonance (the level ...
Stratospheric Ozone Decrease Due to Chlorofluoromethane Photolysis: Predictions of Latitude Dependence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional model is used to predict the 1990 reduction in ozone due to the chlorine compounds formed by chlorofluoromethane (CFM) photolysis when the CFM release rate is held constant at the 1975 value. The predicted ...
