Continuous Cropping and Moist Deep Convection on the Canadian Prairies
Summerfallow is cropland that is purposely kept out of production during a growing season to conserve soil moisture. On the Canadian Prairies, a trend to continuous cropping with a reduction in summerfallow began after the summerfallow area peaked in 1976. This study examined the impact of this land-use change on convective available potential energy (CAPE), a necessary but not sufficient condi...
متن کاملAnelastic convection-driven dynamo benchmarks
Benchmark solutions for fully nonlinear anelastic compressible convection and dynamo action in a rotating spherical shell are proposed. Three benchmarks are specified. The first is a purely hydrodynamic case, which is steady in a uniformly drifting frame. The second is a self-excited saturated dynamo solution, also steady in a drifting frame. The third is again a self-excited dynamo but is unst...
متن کاملThe breakdown of the anelastic approximation in rotating compressible convection: implications for astrophysical systems.
The linear theory for rotating compressible convection in a plane layer geometry is presented for the astrophysically relevant case of low Prandtl number gases. When the rotation rate of the system is large, the flow remains geostrophically balanced for all stratification levels investigated and the classical (i.e. incompressible) asymptotic scaling laws for the critical parameters are recovere...
متن کاملThermodynamic Consistency of the Anelastic Approximation for a Moist Atmosphere
The primary goal of this paper is to validate the use of the anelastic approximation for fluids with a complex equation of state such as moist air or seawater. The anelastic approximation is based on a leading-order expansion of the equations of motion for a compressible fluid in terms of density. Its application to atmospheric flows has been based on a dry framework that treats phase transitio...
متن کاملAtmospheric Moist Convection
■ Abstract Various forms of atmospheric moist convection are reviewed through a consideration of three prevalent regimes: stratocumulus; trade-wind; and deep, precipitating, maritime convection. These regimes are chosen because they are structural components of the general circulation of the atmosphere and because they highlight distinguishing features of this polymorphous phenomenon. In partic...
