Direct Calculation of Low-Frequency Coastally Trapped Waves and Their Scattering
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new, direct numerical method is proposed for finding the phase speeds and pressure fields of low-frequency nondispersive coastally trapped waves in a continuously stratified flow. The usual two-dimensional problem is ...
Mixed Boundary Conditions versus Coupling with an Energy–Moisture Balance Model for a Zonally Averaged Ocean Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Wright and Stocker oceanic thermohaline circulation model is coupled to a recently developed zonally averaged energy moisture balance model for the atmosphere. The results obtained with this coupled model are compared ...
A Second-Order Closure Turbulence Model: New Heat Flux Equations and No Critical Richardson Number
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We formulate a new second-order closure turbulence model by employing a recent closure for the pressure–temperature correlation at the equation level. As a result, we obtain new heat flux equations that avoid the long-standing ...
A Review of Antarctic Surface Snow Isotopic Composition: Observations, Atmospheric Circulation, and Isotopic Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A database of surface Antarctic snow isotopic composition is constructed using available measurements, with an estimate of data quality and local variability. Although more than 1000 locations are documented, the spatial ...
