Self-Acceleration in the Parameterization of Orographic Gravity Wave Drag
A new effect related to the evaluation of momentum deposition in conventional parameterizations of orographic gravity wave drag (GWD) is considered. The effect takes the form of an adjustment to the basicstate wind about which steady-state wave solutions are constructed. The adjustment is conservative and follows from wave–mean flow theory associated with wave transience at the leading edge of ...
متن کاملAn Accurate Spectral Non-Orographic Gravity Wave Drag Parameterization for General Circulation Models
An accurate method of solution is developed for the Warner and McIntyre parameterization of non-orographic gravity-wave drag for the case of hydrostatic dynamics in the absence of rotation. The new scheme is sufficiently fast that it is suitable for operational use in a general circulation model. Multi-year climate runs of the Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model are performed using the new scheme,...
متن کاملThe Effect of Back-Reflection in the Parameterization of Non-Orographic Gravity-Wave Drag
An efficient method of solution is developed for the Warner and McIntyre parameterization of the drag associated with nonhydrostatic non-orographic inertia–gravity waves. The scheme is sufficiently fast as to enable, for the first time, fully interactive multi-year climate simulations that include the effects of rotation and nonhydrostatic wave dynamics in the parameterization of non-orographic...
متن کاملSensitivity of Simulated Climate to Conservation of Momentum in Gravity Wave Drag Parameterization
The Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model is used to examine the sensitivity of simulated climate to conservation of momentum in gravity wave drag parameterization. Momentum conservation requires that the parameterized gravity wave momentum flux at the top of the model be zero and corresponds to the physical boundary condition of no momentum flux at the top of the atmosphere. Allowing momentum flux ...
متن کاملMesoscale Motions Induced by Cumulus Convection : a Numerical Study
There is evidence from observations that evaporation of precipitation falling from widespread thick masses of middle-and high-cloud cumulonimbus debris is of vital importance to the dynamics of some tropical disturbances. A numerical model suitable for testing this idea has been designed and run. Dynamics of the large-scale flow are governed by the hydrostatic unfiltered equations specialized t...
