Null modes effect in Rossby wave model
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of the null-modes existence and some particularities of their interaction with nonlinear vortex-wave-like structures is discussed. We show that the null-modes are fundamental elements of nonlinear wave fields. The conditions under which null-modes can manifest themselves are elucidated. The Rossby-Hasegawa-Mima (RHM) model is used for the illustration of features of nullmodes-waves interactions.

On the scattering of baroclinic Rossby waves by a ridge in a continuously stratified ocean
In global ocean dynamics Rossby waves play a vital rôle in the long-term distribution of vorticity; knowledge of the interaction between these waves and topography is crucial to a full understanding of this process, and hence to the transportation of energy, mixing and ocean circulation. The interaction of baroclinic Rossby waves with abrupt topography is the focus of this study. In this paper ...
متن کاملNumerical wave propagation on the hexagonal C-grid
Inertio-gravity mode and Rossby mode dispersion properties are examined for discretizations of the linearized rotating shallow water equations on a regular hexagonal C-grid in planar geometry. It is shown that spurious non-zero Rossby mode frequencies found by previous authors in the f-plane case can be avoided by an appropriate discretization of the Coriolis terms. Three generalizations of thi...
متن کاملNumerical Experiments on the Generation of Normal Mode Rossby Waves
s Normal mode Rossby waves are simulated with an efficient Double Fourier Series (DFS) spectral model, and their structures are investigated by the Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis. By selecting appropriately the wave-vector component for EOF analysis among the geopotential height and velocity fields of wavenumber one, it was possible to get the EOFs from the time series data whose ...
متن کاملA Toy Model of the Instability in the Equatorially Trapped Convectively Coupled Waves on the Equatorial Beta Plane
The equatorial atmospheric variability shows a spectrum of significant peaks in the wavenumber– frequency domain. These peaks have been identified with the equatorially trapped wave modes of rotating shallow water wave theory. This paper addresses the observation that the various wave types (e.g., Kelvin, Rossby, etc.) and wavenumbers show differing signal strength relative to a red background....
متن کاملThe counter-propagating Rossby-wave perspective on baroclinic instability. II: Application to the Charney model
The constant-density Charney model describes the simplest unstable basic state with a planetary-vorticity gradient, which is uniform and positive, and baroclinicity that is manifest as a negative contribution to the potential-vorticity (PV) gradient at the ground and positive vertical wind shear. Together, these ingredients satisfy the necessary conditions for baroclinic instability. In Part I ...
