A Theoretical Solution to the Motion of an Atmospheric Spherical Vortex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several atmospheric phenomena have been studied in the past in which buoyant fluid convects upward as a compact ?blob? of cloudy or smoky air. In such volumes there is a strong updraft in the middle of the blob, and slower ...
Clouds, Noncloudy Latent Heat Convection, Entrainment, and Horizontal Averaging
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Crucial observations describing the mechanisms active in the convective planetary boundary layer are reviewed. Attention is drawn to the observed transport of heat and moisture upward against vertical stratifications stable ...
An Example of the Behavior of an Aircraft with Accumulated Ice: Latent Instability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many directly measured aircraft performance details related to the unstable behavior of the Desert Research Institute's (DRI) research aircraft after ice accumulation, which led directly to its crash were recorded on its ...
Convective Plumes in a Convective Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The theory of isolated turbulent plumes given earlier is used to study a field of plumes. Each plume is immersed in the turbulent downdraft which comprises the return flow. The field of flow is specified by three parameters: ...
