RISComprehensive Model Simulation of Thermal Tides in the Martian Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper discusses the thermotidal oscillations in simulations performed with a newly developed comprehensive general circulation model of the Martian atmosphere. With reasonable assumptions about the effective thermal ...
The Stability and Genesis of Rossby Vortices
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The stability and genesis of the vortices associated with long solitary divergent Rossby waves-the Rossby vortices?are studied numerically using the single-layer (SL) model with Jovian parameters. Vortex behavior depends ...
Coastal-Trapped Waves in Continuously Stratified Channels. Part I: Numerical Description of Behavioral Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical model which solves the linearized, quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity equation is used to describe free subinertial coastal-trapped wave (CTW) properties in channels with variable depth in the offshore ...
A Solar Radiation Model for Sub-Arctic Woodlands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mathematical model is presented which is used to calculate the flux of solar radiation to a melting snowpack in sub-arctic woodlands. Using tree height, branch radius, and distance between trees as input data, the model ...
A Very High Resolution General Circulation Model Simulation of the Global Circulation in Austral Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper discusses a simulation obtained with the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory ?SKYHI? troposphere?stratosphere?mesosphere general circulation model run at very high horizontal resolution (?60-km grid spacing) ...
Middle Atmosphere Simulated with High Vertical and Horizontal Resolution Versions of a GCM: Improvements in the Cold Pole Bias and Generation of a QBO-like Oscillation in the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large-scale circulation in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory ?SKYHI? troposphere?stratosphere?mesosphere finite-difference general circulation model is examined as a function of vertical and horizontal resolution. ...
An Analysis of the Effect of Topography on the Martian Hadley Cells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous work with Mars general circulation models (MGCMs) has shown that the north?south slope in Martian topography causes asymmetries in the Hadley cells at equinox and in the annual average. To quantitatively solve for ...
Spontaneous Stratospheric QBO-like Oscillations Simulated by the GFDL SKYHI General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The tropical stratospheric mean flow behavior in a series of integrations with high vertical resolution versions of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) ?SKYHI? model is examined. At sufficiently high vertical ...
Local Dynamics of Baroclinic Waves in the Martian Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he paper investigates the processes that drive the spatiotemporal evolution of baroclinic transient waves in the Martian atmosphere by a simulation experiment with the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) Mars ...
Wind in the Subarctic Forest
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the subarctic region of central Labrador wind speeds were measured at 2 m height in open lichen woodlands of various stand densities and were related to standard winds recorded at the same level on the local airport ...
