Wind and Temperature Profiles for Constant-flux Boundary Layers in Lapse Conditions with a Variable Eddy Conductivity to Eddy Viscosity Ratio
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A set of wind and temperature profile formulas are derived for the constant-flux atmospheric boundary layer in lapse stratification. These formulas imply a relationship between the eddy transfer coefficient ratio, KH/KM, ...
Spectral Characteristics of Strain-Dependent Eddy Viscosity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spectral dependence and numerically estimated values of Kraichnan's numerically determined effective eddy viscosity in a test field model of two- and three- dimensional isotropic flow are compared to those of a ...
Numerical Stability of the Combined Advection-DiffusionEquation with Nonuniform Spatial Grid
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The advection-diffusion equation is often solved by implicit finite-difference schemes that are unconditionally stable when the grid interval is uniform. When such schemes are generalized to account for nonuniform grid ...
A Numerical Predictability Problem in Solution of the Nonlinear Diffusion Equation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical analysis of the nonlinear heat diffusion equation has been carted out to bring to light a heretofore little-understood type of instability that can be encountered in many numerical modeling applications. The ...
Merging Finite-Difference Schemes Having Dissimilar Time-Differencing Operators
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A procedure is given here that allows two finite-difference schemes having dissimilar time-differencing operators (say, a horizontal advection-diffusion scheme and a vertical diffusion scheme) to be merged into a single ...
Circulation Regime-Dependent Nonlinear Interactions during Northern Hemisphere Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Average statistics for periods of large positive 500 mb height anomalies are compared to statistics for all other situations using NMC data for the 15 Januaries from 1963 to 1977. The 500 mb heights and geostrophic ...
Midtropospheric Flow Regimes and Persistent Wintertime Anomalies of Surface-Layer Pressure and Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects on surface-layer temperature, pressure, and circulation of flow regimes defined from parameters related to the midtropospheric flow are examined for Northern Hemisphere (NH) winter. Interregime contrasts ...
