Abstract: A series of numerical experiments on the decaying two dimensional turbulence is performed for a nondivergent barotropic fluid on a rotating sphere by using a high-resolution spectral model with a triangular truncation of ...

Abstract: The reflection of the Rossby wave by the shear zone of the basic flow with hyperbolic tangent profile is investigated by examining the eigenfunction of the disturbance equation. The reflection coefficient is evaluated for ...

Abstract: The reflection and transmission of Rossby waves by zonal shear is investigated for the cases U(y)=tanhy and ?sech2y. The coefficients of reflection and transmission are evaluated numerically and some asymptotic properties ...

Abstract: A series of numerical experiments on two-dimensional decaying turbulence is performed for a barotropic fluid on a rotating sphere. Numerical calculations have confirmed two important asymptotic features: emergence of the ...

Abstract: A wavelet analysis of a three-dimensional 7-day explicit simulation of the tropical cloud systems in the Global Atmosphere Research Programme (GARP) Atlantic Tropical Experiment Phase III is performed. Three physically ...

Abstract: Jet formation in decaying two-dimensional turbulence on a rotating sphere is reviewed from the viewpoint of Rossby waves. A series of calculations are performed to confirm the behavior of zonal mean flow generation on the ...
