Superrotation in a Venus general circulation model
A super–rotating atmosphere with equatorial winds of ∼ 35m s is simulated using a simplified Venus General Circulation Model (GCM). The equatorial super-rotation in the model atmosphere is maintained by barotropic instabilities in the the mid–latitude jets which transport angular momentum towards the equator. The mid–latitude jets are maintained by the mean meridional circulation and the moment...
متن کاملSimulation of Hurricane Isabel Using the Advanced Circulation Model (ADCIRC)
Hurricane Isabel made landfall near Drum Inlet, about 240 km south of the Chesapeake Bay mouth, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina at 1700 UTC (GMT 12:00), September 18, 2003. Hurricane Isabel is considered to be one of the most significant tropical cyclones to affect portions of northeastern North Carolina and eastcentral Virginia. The ADvanced CIRCulation Model (ADCIRC) model was applied to...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Indian Ocean Circulation in Spherical Coordinate
In recent years, the Indian Ocean (IO) has been discovered to have a much larger impact on climate variability than previously thought. This paper reviews processes in which the IO is, or appears to be, actively involved. We begin the mathematical model with a pattern for summer monsoon winds. Three dimensional temperature and velocity fields are calculated analytically for the ocean forced by ...
متن کاملA bulk cloud parameterization in a Venus General Circulation Model
A condensing cloud parameterization is included in a super-rotating Venus General Circulation Model. A parameterization including condensation, evaporation and sedimentation of mono-modal sulfuric acid cloud particles is described. Saturation vapor pressure of sulfuric acid vapor is used to determine cloud formation through instantaneous condensation and destruction through evaporation, while p...
متن کاملDiurnal cycle of tropical precipitation in a general circulation model
[1] Hourly averaged precipitation rates from an ensemble of the Community Climate Model version 3 (CCM3) simulations for the 44-month period from January 1998 through August 2001 are compared to observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. In order to have adequate sampling by the satellite, comparisons are made for 15 longitude 10 latitude boxes and for larger ge...
