A general circulation model ensemble study of the atmospheric circulation of Venus
[1] The response of three numerical model dynamical cores to Venus‐like forcing and friction is described in this paper. Each dynamical core simulates a super‐rotating atmospheric circulation with equatorial winds of 35 ± 10 m/s, maintained by horizontally propagating eddies leaving the equatorial region and inducing a momentum convergence there. We discuss the balance between the mean circulat...
متن کاملAtmospheric effects on cratering on Venus
A paraboloidal bow shock model is developed in order to estimate the surface distribution of gas shock-induced modifications surrounding Venusian impact craters. We apply two-dimensional oblique shock dynamics to describe a three-dimensional paraboloidal-shaped bow shock impinging upon an assumed incompressible Venusian surface. The effects of the hypersonic atmospheric shock acting on the Venu...
متن کاملOn the response of the oceanic wind-driven circulation to atmospheric CO2 increase
A global, flux-corrected climate model is employed to predict the surface wind stress and associated wind-driven oceanic circulation for climate states corresponding to a doubling and quadrupling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration in a simple 1% per year CO2 increase scenario. The model indicates that in response to CO2 increase, the position of zero wind stress curl in the mid-latitudes of t...
متن کاملAtmospheric nitrogen evolution on Earth and Venus
Nitrogen is the most common element in Earth’s atmosphere and also appears to be present in significant amounts in the mantle. However, its long-term cycling between these two reservoirs remains poorly understood. Here a range of biotic and abiotic mechanisms are evaluated that could have caused nitrogen exchange between Earth’s surface and interior over time. In the Archean, biological nitroge...
متن کاملWind profile effects on gravity wave drag and their impact on the global atmospheric circulation Supervisors:
The drag force associated with gravity waves generated by flow over the world’s mountain ranges tends to decelerate the large-scale atmospheric circulation, and must be parametrized in global weather prediction and climate models, since it is still not adequately resolved by those models. Such parametrizations have proved to be of crucial importance for improving the skill of weather forecasts....
