An Atmospheric Instability Perturbation Approach for Ensemble Forecasts and Its Application in Heavy Rain Cases

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
An ensemble perturbation approach focusing on Atmospheric Instability Perturbation was proposed. This approach perturbs diagnostics quantifying atmospheric instability and calculates corresponding model state perturbations through a data assimilation ...

Dynamics and thermodynamics of the fast and slow Madden–Julian Oscillation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The results of this study highlight the MJO as a complex phenomenon, the behavior of which is driven by an interplay of thermodynamic and dynamic processes. The MJO's distinct speeds are controlled by different mechanisms: slow MJOs propagate eastward primarily via horizontal moisture advection, fast MJOs by vertical moisture advection.

Dry intrusions and warm‐core development in Medicanes: Insights from a multi‐case analysis and the peculiar evolution of Ianos

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Mediterranean tropical‐like cyclones show a clear seasonality, with September cyclones exhibiting the deepest convection and Ianos representing the most extreme case. While one or more dry intrusions are typically detected during the cyclone life cycle, Ianos instead features two much weaker descending airflows.

A multi-scale comparison of polar vortices on Earth, Mars, Titan, and Venus

地球与行星物理论评
Although previous studies have analyzed the unique structural characteristics of the polar vortices on Earth, Venus, Mars, and Titan, the understanding of the polar vortices on Venus and Titan is primarily based on small-scale case studies due to the ...

A GENERALIZED POTENTIAL VORTICITY IN THE OCEAN [PDF]

, 1966
With the aid of Ertel's vorticity theorem (1942), a generalized potential vorticity for a compressible and baroclinic ocean is derived by examination of the thermodynamical property of potential density. The new potential vorticity - W•(7p*/p (W absolute

On Potential Vorticity Flux Vectors

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2003
Abstract Dynamical, rather than kinematical, considerations indicate that a generalized potential vorticity in terms of the gradient of an arbitrary scalar function requires that the potential vorticity flux vector contain a contribution due to gravity and the pressure gradient force.

The physical and synoptic‐dynamical differences between warm days, hot days, and heatwaves during summer in Victoria, Australia

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
During the day, there is composite mean cold advection in the boundary layer on warm days (WDs), hot days (HDs) and heatwaves (HWs). There is weaker surface‐sensible heating on HDs and HWs. A nocturnal jet advects warm air on HDs and HWs. There is a strong and slow‐moving upper‐level anticyclone on HWs.

An eddy closure for potential vorticity

Ocean Modelling, 2011
It is now over 40 years since a closure for the effects of mesoscale eddies in terms of Ertel potential vorticity was first proposed. The consequences of the closure that treats potential vorticity exactly the same as a passive tracer in isopycnal coordinates are explored in this paper.

Multiscale numerical sensitivity simulations of a mesoscale gravity‐wave event

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
High‐resolution WRF simulations of the February 14–15, 1992 STORM‐FEST event show that mesoscale gravity‐wave genesis occurs via geostrophic adjustment within an upper‐level unbalanced jet, while wave ducting governs maintenance. High‐resolution (1 km), improved physical parameterization, and targeted sensitivity simulations demonstrate that upstream ...

Balance, gravity waves and jets in turbulent shallow water flows [PDF]

, 2009
This thesis contains a thorough investigation of the properties of freely decaying turbulence in a rotating shallow water layer on a sphere. A large number of simulations, covering an extensive range of Froude and Rossby numbers, have been carried out ...
