Parallel Computation of Gravity Wave Turbulence in the Earth’s Atmosphere
Gravity waves (GWs) are ubiquitous internal waves in which the restoring force is buoyancy. In the Earth’s atmosphere, GWs are generated whenever a parcel of air is disturbed from its equilibrium position. Disturbing sources include topographic features (e.g., mountains), convective instabilities (e.g., thunderstorms), frontal motions, and oscillations of jet streams. When the amplitude of a GW...
متن کاملNeutrino Astronomy at the South Pole
IceCube is currently being built deep in the glacial ice beneath the South Pole. In its second year of construction, it is already larger than its predecessor, AMANDA. AMANDA continues to collect high energy neutrino and muon data as an independent detector until it is integrated with IceCube. After introducing both detectors, recent results from AMANDA and a status report on IceCube are presen...
متن کاملGravity wave momentum flux in the lower stratosphere over convection
This work describes a method for estimating vertical fluxes of horizontal momentum carried by short horizontal scale gravity waves (Xx = 10-100 km) using aircraft measured winds in the lower stratosphere. We utilize the in situ wind vector and pressure altitude measurements provided by the Meteorological Measurement System (MMS) on board the ER-2 aircraft to compute the momentum flux vectors at...
متن کاملTransient water vapor at Europa's south pole.
In November and December 2012, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaged Europa's ultraviolet emissions in the search for vapor plume activity. We report statistically significant coincident surpluses of hydrogen Lyman-α and oxygen OI 130.4-nanometer emissions above the southern hemisphere in December 2012. These emissions were persistently found in the same area over the 7 hours of the observati...
متن کاملNight-to-night changes in the characteristics of gravity waves at stratospheric and lower-mesospheric heights
Observations made with the co-located Rayleigh lidar and MST radar systems at Aberystwyth (52.4°N, 4.1°W) in Wales and radiosondes from Valentia (51.9°N, 10.2°W) in Eire are used to investigate the changes in the vertical propagation of gravity waves during periods of 4 days in June 1995 and February 1993. In each month, the lidar observations show that the wave activity in the upper stratosphe...
