ON PERMANENT PERTURBATIONS OF ZONAL ATMOSPHERIC MOTION, WITH APPLICATIONS TO LOW LATITUDES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: If the pressure is eliminated from the vorticity equation, this vector equation and the continuity equation constitute a system of four, independent scalar equations in the four dependent variables, consisting of the ...
A MECHANISM FOR PRODUCING CLOUD LINES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By consideration of the buoyancy effects associated with the release of latent heat, an hypothesis concerning a mechanism for the formation of cloud lines is set up. Adequate data for a quantitative check of this hypothesis ...
ON THE SCALAR-VORTICITY AND HORIZONTAL-DIVERGENCE EQUATIONS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is desirable to treat the horizontal divergence as well as the vertical component of vorticity in reasoning about the wind field. One reason for this is that the vorticity is connected with the intensity of disturbances, ...
ON THE WIND ASYMMETRY OF HURRICANES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The difference in the wind speeds across hurricanes (from the ?dangerous? to the opposite semi-circle) is often greater than twice the speed of propagation of the storm. The traditional explanation of the speed asymmetry ...
