Numerical Simulations of Maritime Frontogenesis

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF THE PHASE TRANSITIONS IN CLUSTERS

We have studied the phase transitions in atomic clusters by molecular dynamics simulation, assuming Lennard-Jones interatomic pair potential. Calculations are performed by DAP parallel computer. The results are analyzed by simulating their orientational distribution plots (dot-plot), and neutron diffraction patterns. It is shown that all the main features of the bulk phase transitions are e...

Blocking and Frontogenesis by Two-Dimensional Terrain in Baroclinic Flow. Part I: Numerical Experiments

The shallow atmospheric fronts that develop in the early winter along the east coast of North America have been attributed, in various modeling and observational studies, to the land–sea contrasts in both surface heating and friction. However, typical synoptic conditions are such that these ‘‘coastal’’ fronts could also be a type of upstream influence by the Appalachian Mountain chain. Generali...

The Mathematical Theory of Frontogenesis

For over one hundred years it has been known that atmospheric depressions have cold frontal regions in which typically the temperature falls rapidly, the wind changes, and precipitation occurs. Sixty years ago Norwegian meteorologists shaped their polar front model in which depressions were considered to grow on a preexisting sloping thermal discontinuity; as the depressions grew it was conside...
