Abstract: The sufficient condition for inviscid, helical instability at large wavenumbers is applied to solutions for columnar vortices arising from the vortical flow of an end-wall boundary layer. The end-wall vortex arising from ...

Abstract: n ensemble of axisymmetric model experiments with simplified physics is used to evaluate the diagnostic framework presented in Part I. The central piece of the framework is understanding what causes decreases in the ratio ...

Abstract: diagnostic framework to investigate the role of processes around and during tropical cyclogenesis is presented. The key framework metric is the ratio of bulk differences of moist entropy over differences of angular momentum ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional, anelastic wind field on a staggered grid, with a specified normal wind component on the lateral boundaries, can be reversibly transformed into two scalar fields. In a conformal, terrain-following ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional numerical model KOLUM is introduced that demonstrates the use of continuous dynamic grid adaption in modeling the atmospheric boundary layer. The entrainment rates of KOLUM are compared against recent ...

Abstract: An integral closure model is proposed for the vertical turbulent transport of a scalar in a mixed layer. The flux divergences at a given level is related to a vertical integral of a weighting function multiplied by the ...

Abstract: The Lilly-type models for stratocumulus-capped mixed layers are shown to allow for a mesoscale instability in which mesoscale fluctuations of buoyancy and humidity are reinforced in phase by entrainment In a model of an ...

Abstract: A global climatology of height-resolved variance scaling within the troposphere is presented using derived temperature (T) and water vapor (q) profiles from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS). The power-law exponent ...
