Synoptic View of the North Atlantic Oscillation
This article investigates the synoptic characteristics of individual North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) events by examining the daily evolution of the potential temperature field on the nominal tropopause (the 2-PVU surface). This quantity is obtained from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP–NCAR) reanalysis dataset for the winter seaso...
متن کاملPotential vorticity 1
LTEX source, defined here to print as italic. Possible cross-references to other articles are flagged \crossref{...}. For visibility, \crossref{...} is temporarily defined to print as sans-serif. Therefore, sans-serif italic signals both a new term and a possible cross-reference. I have used \openingscarequote...\closingscarequote in a few places. This bends the house-style rules, but unfortuna...
متن کاملPotential Vorticity as Meridional Coordinate
The dynamical equations of atmospheric flow are written using potential vorticity as the meridional coordinate and potential temperature as the vertical coordinate. Within this system, the atmosphere is divided into undulating tubes bounded by isentropic and constant potential vorticity surfaces, and, under adiabatic and frictionless conditions, the air moves through the tubes without penetrati...
متن کاملdevelopment of a potential vorticity based dynamical core for general circulation models using the diabatic contour-advective semi-lagrangian algorithm
the development of the dynamical core of a potential-vorticity-based atmospheric general circulation model is explored. there are some advantages of using potential vorticity (pv) as a prognostic variable in that the resulting model can give more accurate simulation of the evolution of pv, as arguably the most fundamental dynamical quantity. further, there is possibility of explicit representat...
متن کاملPotential Vorticity Inversion on a Hemisphere
Several different kinds of accurate potential vorticity (PV) inversion operators, and the associated balanced models, are tested for the shallow water equations on a hemisphere in an attempt to approach the ultimate limitations of the balance, inversion, and slow-manifold concepts. The accuracies achieved are far higher than for standard balanced models accurate to one or two orders in Rossby n...
