Synchronization and chaos control in a periodically forced quasi-geostrophic two-layer model of baroclinic instability
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. This variability has been investigated by numerous previous workers, in models ranging from simple energy balance constructions to full general circulation models. We present a numerical study in which pe...
متن کاملGravitational, Symmetric, and Baroclinic Instability of the Ocean Mixed Layer
A hierarchy of hydrodynamical instabilities controlling the transfer of buoyancy through the oceanic mixed layer is reviewed. If a resting ocean of horizontally uniform stratification is subject to spatially uniform buoyancy loss at the sea surface, then gravitational instability ensues in which buoyancy is drawn from depth by upright convection. But if spatial inhomogeneities in the ambient st...
متن کاملtwo - dimensional temperature field in a semi-infinite finned wall
in this paper, two-dimensional heat transfer in a semi-infinite wall with fins of rectangular profile has been investigated. the conduction equations of the wall and fins are solved simultaneously by a numerical method. the principal parameters of the problem are the fin spacing, length, and fin-to-wall conductivity ratio. in this investigation, the effect of these parameters on two-dimensional...
متن کاملTransient moist baroclinic instability
The non-modal transient properties of the Eady baroclinic model with a simple heating parameterization are examined. The time-dependent non-modal behavior of the moist baroclinic model is investigated by calculating the energy amplification of optimal perturbations for relevant time-scales and by calculating the energy evolution of random initial conditions. Enhanced non-modal growth on time-sc...
متن کاملbalance and inertia–gravity waves in a two-layer baroclinic model
balance, breakdown of balance, and generation of inertia–gravity waves in vortical flows are fundamental topics of prime importance in geophysical fluid dynamics. this research aims to find the optimum balance relation as well as the rossby-number variation of the spontaneous generation of inertia–gravity waves in a baroclinic, two-layer, boussinesq model on a doubly-periodic f-plane geometry f...
