Intrusive Mixing in a Mediterranean Salt Lens—Intrusion Slopes and Dynamical Mechanisms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thermohaline intrusions found in Meddy ?Sharon? were laterally coherent The slope of these intrusions across density surfaces was in opposite senses in the upper and lower part of the meddy, consistent with (i) the McIntyre ...
A Generalized Solution for the Large-Scale, Time-Average Perturbations in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A solution is given, in the form of influence functions, for the forced geostrophic response of the atmosphere to the combined effects of zonal asymmetries in (i) the lower boundary orography and (ii) the mean, ...
Dynamic Behavior and Design of Fatigue Test Specimens
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In tension-tension, as well as in compression-tension, fatigue testing it has been observed that there exist combinations of loading and specimen characteristics for which the specimen becomes ...
ON THE THEORY OF THE WINTER-AVERAGE PERTURBATIONS IN THE TROPOSPHERE AND STRATOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A general solution is obtained for forced, stationary, quasi-geostrophic perturbations in an atmosphere having the main zonal-average characteristics of the winter troposphere and stratosphere. Special solutions along 45° ...
SOME HEMISPHERIC SPECTRAL STATISTICS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results of computations of the spectrum of the eddy kinetic energy, the angular momentum transport, and the transfer of kinetic energy between the eddies and the mean motion, for the month of January 1949, are presented. ...
Finite Amplitude Free Convection as an Initial Value Problem—I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Oberbeck-Boussinesq equations are reduced to a two-dimensional form governing ?roll? convection between two free surfaces maintained at a constant temperature difference. These equations are then transformed to a set ...
The Quantitative Use of PIREPs in Developing Aviation Weather Guidance Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An evaluation of the utility of pilot reports (PIREPs) of weather for aviation forecasting product development is presented. Although PIREPs were never intended for quantitative use, this limitation has not prevented ...
EQUATIONS GOVERNING THE ENERGETICS OF THE LARGER SCALES OF ATMOSPHERIC TURBULENCE IN THE DOMAIN OF WAVE NUMBER
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By considering the Fourier analysis of the planetary field of motion in the atmosphere, it is possible to define ?scales? of motion and to write equations which govern the behavior of these separate scales of motion. ...
