Abstract: any high-resolution atmospheric models can reproduce the qualitative shape of the atmospheric kinetic energy spectrum, which has a power-law slope of ?3 at large horizontal scales that shallows to approximately ?5/3 in the ...

Abstract: The atmospheric mesoscale kinetic energy spectrum is investigated through numerical simulations of an idealized baroclinic wave life cycle, from linear instability to mature nonlinear evolution and with high horizontal and ...

Abstract: A simplified model of intermediate complexity for convectively coupled gravity waves that incorporates the bulk dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer is developed and analyzed. The model comprises equations for velocity, ...

Abstract: he role of moist processes in the development of the mesoscale kinetic energy spectrum is investigated with numerical simulations of idealized moist baroclinic waves. Dry baroclinic waves yield upper-tropospheric kinetic ...

Abstract: The role of environmental moisture in the deepening of cumulus convection is investigated by means of cloud-resolving numerical experiments. Under idealized conditions of uniform SST and specified radiative cooling, the ...

Abstract: umerical simulations are used to investigate waves generated by flow over crater topography of diameter 100 km in an idealized atmosphere. The atmosphere is stratified with a constant buoyancy frequency profile and the ...
