Solitary Waves in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The weakly nonlinear theory for internal solitary waves is reviewed and theoretical results of the vertical and horizontal structure of temperature, vertical displacements, and vertical and horizontal perturbations to the ...
Practical Application of Two-Turning-Point Theory to Mountain-Wave Transmission through a Wind Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Fourier method is used to model mountain waves that have nearby turning points in a wind jet. In Fourier space, the propagation equations are solved by ray theory. To correct for the ray singularity at a turning point ...
Numerical Simulations of Upstream Blocking, Columnar Disturbances, and Bores in Stably Stratified Shear Flows over an Obstacle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional, nonhydrostatic, elastic numerical model has been used to study the generation of gravity waves for a stably stratified shear flow over an obstacle. When a low-level wind shear is included in the simulation, ...
A Simplified Fourier Method for Nonhydrostatic Mountain Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A previously derived approximation to the standard Fourier integral technique for linear mountain waves is extended to include nonhydrostatic effects in a background flow with height-dependent wind and stratification. The ...
The Propagation of Tsunami-Generated Acoustic–Gravity Waves in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sunami-generated acoustic?gravity waves have been observed to propagate in the atmosphere up to the ionosphere, where they have an impact on the total electron content. The authors simulate numerically the propagation of ...
Mesoscale Model Initialization of the Fourier Method for Mountain Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Fourier method is combined with a mesoscale model to simulate mountain waves. The mesoscale model describes the nonlinear low-level flow and predicts the emerging wave field above the mountain. This solution serves as ...
