A Tabletop Demonstration of Atmospheric Dynamics:Baroclinic Instability
Tabletop Demonstration Atmospheric Dynamics Baroclinic Instability
2015/7/22
Here we study a fundamental instability mechanism of the atmosphere that affects us very directly in terms of mid-latitude winter weather. We provide a hands-on demonstration of this instability using...
The baroclinic instability in the context of layered accretion. Self-sustained vortices and their magnetic stability in local compressible unstratified models of protoplanetary disks
baroclinic instability magnetic stability protoplanetary disks
2010/11/10
Context. Turbulence and angular momentum transport in accretion disks remain a topic of debate. With the realization that dead zones are robust features of protoplanetary disks, the search for hydrody...
Baroclinic instability of a symmetric,rotating,stratified flow:a study of the nonlinear stabilisation mechanisms in the presence of viscosity
Baroclinic instability nonlinear stabilisation mechanisms presence of viscosity
2009/11/12
This paper presents the analysis of symmetric circulations of a rotating baroclinic flow, forced by a steady thermal wind and dissipated by Laplacian friction. The analysis is performed with numerical...
Synchronization and chaos control in a periodically forced quasi-geostrophic two-layer model of baroclinic instability
Synchronization chaos control quasi-geostrophic two-layer model baroclinic instability
2009/11/9
Cyclic forcing on many timescales is believed to have a significant effect on various quasi-periodic, geophysical phenomena such as El Niño, the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation, and glacial cycles. ...
Synchronization in a coupled two-layer quasigeostrophic model of baroclinic instability–Part 1:Master-slave configuration
two-layer quasigeostrophic model baroclinic instability Master-slave configuration
2009/10/30
Synchronization is studied using a pair of diffusively-coupled, two-layer quasi-geostrophic systems each comprising a single baroclinic wave and a zonal flow. In particular, the coupling between the s...
Baroclinic instability is examined in a two-layer, quasi-geostrophic model for linearized mesoscale waves (i.e., with periods of a few months and length scales near the internal deformation radius). T...
Baroclinic Instability over a Slope. Part II:Finite-Amplitude Theory
Baroclinic Instability Finite-Amplitude Theory
2009/3/24
Baroclinic instability of a circular current is modified by the presence of a unidirectional bottom slope. An analytical theory is developed for the slightly unstable flow regime over a weak slope. Th...
Baroclinic Instability over a Slope. Part I:Linear Theory
Baroclinic Instability Slope Linear Theory
2009/3/24
We consider the instability properties of a circular current in the upper layer of a two-layer quasi-geostrophic ocean over a unidirectional slope. This particular flow-topography geometry is intended...
On Secondary Baroclinic Instability and the Meridional Scale of Motion in the Ocean
Secondary Baroclinic Instability Meridional Scale
2009/3/24
The stability of the marginally stable baroclinic wave in a uniform zonal shear flow is studied. Although the single, marginally stable wave on a horizontally uniform baroclinic current has little or ...
Baroclinic Instability in the Denmark Strait Overflow
Baroclinic Instability Denmark Strait Overflow
2009/3/7
Current meter records and hydrographic data taken in the Denmark Strait overflow during a one-month experiment in August-September 1973 are analyzed. Mean conditions indicate that a strong, cold overf...
On the Stability of a Fluid with Specialized Density Stratification. Part I:Baroclinic Instability and Constant Bottom Slope
Specialized Density Stratification Baroclinic Instability Constant Bottom Slope
2009/2/16
A three-layer model is used to study the stability of large-scale oceanic zonal flows over topography. The mean density profile employed has upper and lower layers of constant densities ρ1* and ρ3*, r...
Baroclinic Instability in a Downstream Varying Channel:Shelikof Strait, Alaska
Baroclinic Instability Shelikof Strait Downstream Varying Channel
2009/2/10
Moored current-meter observations obtained from upstream and downstream locations in Shelikof Strait, between Kodiak and Afognak Islands and the Alaskan mainland in the northwest Gulf of Alaska, show...
A linearized baroclinic instability model is applied to the Drake Passage area. The predictions of the model are found to be in good agreement with observations. Temporal and spatial scales are predic...
Modal Decomposition of the Low-Frequency Currents and Baroclinic Instability at Drake Passage
Low-Frequency Currents Baroclinic Instability Drake Passage
2009/1/16
Recently collected hydrographic data show that each of the four water mass zones previously identified in Drake Passage is characterized by a distinctly different vertical profile of Brunt-Väis&a...
The Local Baroclinic Instability of Geostrophic Spirals in the Eastern North Pacific
Local Baroclinic Instability Geostrophic Spirals Eastern North Pacific
2009/1/8
We analyze the pre-1975 hydrographic data of the Northeast Pacific and compute the large-scale two-dimensional geostrophic flow with respect to 3000 m. Using a linear three-level quasi-geostrophic mod...
