Baroclinic Wave Drag and Barotropic to Baroclinic Energy Transfer at Sills as Evidenced by Tidal Retardation, Seiche Damping and Diapycnal Mixing in Fjords
Fluctuating barotropic flow over sills in stratified water is subjected to baroclinic wave drag and accompanying barotropic to baroclinic energy transfer. In fjords, this process has notable consequences, for instance, tidal retardation across fjord sills, damping of barotropic seiches and enhanced diapycnal mixing in the basin water. These may be computed from simple models only including loca...
متن کاملResponse of Baroclinic Life Cycles to Barotropic Shear
Cyclonic barotropic shear of incrementally increasing magnitude is imposed on an idealized midlatitude jet, and the life cycles of baroclinically unstable wavenumber 6 perturbations growing on these jets are studied. When the barotropic shear parameter passes a critical value, the life cycle makes an abrupt transition from anticyclonic to cyclonic behavior. The abrupt transition in behavior is ...
متن کاملDrag Reduction by Surfactant Solutions in Gravity Driven Flow Systems
Efflux time measurements are carried out for gravity draining of a liquid from a large cylindrical tank (where the flow is essentially laminar) through single exit pipe in the absence and presence of Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) surfactant solutions. The variables considered are initial height of liquid in the tank, dia. of tank, length of the exit pipe and concentration of surfactant. T...
متن کاملBaroclinic and Barotropic Annular Variability in the Northern Hemisphere
Large-scale variability in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) circulation can be viewed in the context of three primary types of structures: 1) teleconnection patterns, 2) a barotropic annular mode, and 3) a baroclinic annular mode. The barotropic annular mode corresponds to the northern annular mode (NAM) and has been examined extensively in previous research. Here the authors examine the spatial st...
متن کاملVariation of overtides by wave enhanced bottom drag in a North Florida tidal inlet
Month-long observations of waves and tidal currents at Ponce de Leon Inlet, North Florida are used to investigate the importance of wave-induced bottom drag as a mechanism for overtide generation in estuaries. While bottom drag can in theory lead to overtide generation, in practice, resolving unambiguously this effect is difficult as it tends to be overshadowed by the stronger effect of diurnal...
