Abstract: Stationary planetary waves in the southern stratosphere display a characteristic seasonal cycle. Previous research based on a one-dimensional model suggests that this behavior is mainly determined by seasonally varying ...

Abstract: The differences between upper-tropospheric cyclones and anticyclones are investigated regarding the height of the thermal and the dynamical tropopause. The problem is addressed in an idealized framework by analyzing ...

Abstract: In the past, linear quasigeostrophic theory has proven successful in modeling the vertical and meridional propagation of stationary planetary waves in the stratosphere. Since in such models the wave solution does not ...

Abstract: anner clouds are clouds that are attached to the leeward slope of a steep mountain. Their formation is essentially due to strong Lagrangian uplift of air in the lee of the mountain. However, little is known about the flow ...

Abstract: This note investigates the dependence of the extratropical tropopause inversion layer (TIL) on numerical resolution in an idealized modeling framework. Axisymmetric upper-tropospheric anticyclones are constructed by ...

Abstract: anner clouds are clouds in the lee of steep mountains or sharp ridges. Previous work suggests that the main formation mechanism is vertical uplift in the lee of the mountain. On the other hand, little is known about the ...

Abstract: anner clouds are clouds in the lee of steep mountains or sharp ridges. Their formation has previously been hypothesized as due to three different mechanisms: (i) vertical uplift in a lee vortex (which has a horizontal ...
