Radiative Cooling Calculated by Random Band Models with S-1-β Tailed Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Random band models with S-l-u tailed distribution for line intensity are proposed for both the Lorentz lineprofile and an approximate Voigt line profile suggested by Zhu. Such a distribution for the weak line intensityis ...
Carbon Dioxide 15-μm Band Cooling Rates in the Upper Middle Atmosphere Calculated by Curtis Matrix Interpolation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new algorithm for calculating CO2 15-?m band cooling rate is suggested following a similar idea proposed by Fels and Schwarzkopf in 1981. Since the Curtis matrix is more useful in cooling rate calculations, we show in ...
Radiative Damping Revisited: Parameterization of Damping Rate in the Middle Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiative damping rates of temperature perturbations are calculated by CO2 and O3 Curtis matrices extending from the surface to 120 km in the earth's atmosphere with the eigenvalue and scale-dependent Newtonian cooling ...
A New Theory of the Saturated Gravity Wave Spectrum for the Middle Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new theory of the saturated vertical wavenumber spectrum of gravity waves for the middle atmosphere is developed. The theory is based on a hypothesis that the saturated spectrum is a result of balance among various ...
An Accurate and Efficient Radiation Algorithm for Middle Atmosphere Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An accurate, efficient, and user-friendly radiation algorithm is developed for calculating net radiative heating rate in middle atmosphere models. The Curtis matrix interpolation scheme originally developed by Zhu is adopted ...
Comparison of Daily Averaged Reflection, Transmission, and Absorption for Selected Radiative Flux Transfer Approximations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper compares accuracy for the daily averaged reflection, transmission, and absorption of solar flux derived from the delta-four-stream approximation and a few selected two-stream approximations. In the chosen variety ...
Efficient Impedance Eductions for Liner Tests in Grazing Flow Incidence Tube
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an efficient impedance eduction method for grazing flow incidence tube by using a surrogating model along with the Wiener–Hopf method, which enables rapid acoustic predictions and effective impedance ...
