Influence of aspect ratio in convection due to nonuniform heating
The influence of fluid depth in a convection problem in which heating is nonuniform is studied. We consider a vessel that has at the bottom a temperature distribution which has Gaussian shape in the transversal direction and whose surface is open to the atmosphere. Coupled buoyancy and thermocapillary effects are taken into account. The results confirm a stationary bifurcation and a prelude of ...

متن کاملMulticloud Models for Organized Tropical Convection: Enhanced Congestus Heating
Despite the recent advances in supercomputing, the current general circulation models (GCMs) poorly represent the large-scale variability associated with tropical convection. Multicloud model convective parameterizations based on three cloud types (congestus, deep, and stratiform), introduced recently by the authors, have been revealed to be very useful in representing key features of organized...
متن کاملBeyond bulk entrainment and detrainment rates: A new framework for diagnosing mixing in cumulus convection
[1] A new framework for diagnosing mixing in cumulus convection is proposed, where the vertical evolution of the cloud mass flux distribution as a function of given parcel properties is viewed as a mapping process. Matrices that characterize this mapping process are constructed using a Lagrangian particle dispersion model embedded in a Large Eddy Simulation. Extending previous use of LES-diagno...
متن کاملSensitivities of the Lower-Stratospheric Transport and Mixing to Tropical SST Heating
The sensitivities of the Brewer–Dobson circulation (BDC) to different distributions of tropical SST heating are investigated in an idealized aquaplanet model. It is found that an increase in tropical SSTs generally leads to an acceleration of tropical upwelling and an associated reduction in the age of air (AOA) in the polar stratosphere and that the AOA near the subtropical tropopause is corre...
