Mean vertical motion and non-adiabatic heat sources over India during the monsoon
نویسنده
چکیده
The mean vertical velocity in pressure coordinates, and the corresponding height tendency, was computed at intervals of 100 mb from 1000 mb to 60 mb on a mesh covering India and most of southeast Asia. The rate of non-adiabatic heat supply was expressed as a function of the computed height tendency. The results showed pronounced ascent over northeast India and a zone of subsidence over northwest India. The rate of ascent decreased uniformly with pressure suggesting force ascent on account of orographic features to the north of India. The computed values of the height tendency indicated that non-adiabatic heat sources must be capable of producing an average warming at the rate of 1.6 C(12hr)-l in northeast India, and an average cooling by 1.2 C(lPhr)-' in northwest India.

Quasi-Static Deformation of a Uniform Thermoelastic Half –Space Due to Seismic Sources and Heat Source
This paper investigates the quasi-static plane deformation of an isotropic thermoelastic half-space due to buried seismic sources and heat source. Governing equations of thermo-elasticity are solved to obtain solutions for seismic sources in a thermoelastic half-space. The general solutions are acquired with the aid of Laplace and Fourier transforms and with the use of boundary conditions. The ...
متن کاملBreak-Monsoon Over India
Interruption of monsoon rainfall by prolonged spells of sparse rainfall (break-monsoon) during the midmonsoon months of July and August over the plains of northern India (20°-29'N, 75O-85'E) has been investigated. When a tropical low-pressure system moves from the plains in a northerly direction toward the submontane region of the Himalaya, the monsoon trough of low pressure also moves from the...

متن کاملAdiabatic westward drift of Indian monsoon depressions
A large fraction of the rain received by continental India is produced by cyclonic vortices with outer radii of about 1,000 km that are contained within the larger scale South Asian monsoon flow. The more intense occurrences of these vortices are called monsoon depressions; these consist of bottom-heavy columns of relative vorticity that propagate to the northwest in time-mean low-level eastwar...

In this paper, conjugate heat transfer of magneto hydrodynamic mixed convection of nanofluid about a vertical slender hollow cylinder embedded in a porous medium with high porosity have been numerically studied. The Forchheimer’s modification of Darcy’s law was used in representing the nanofluid motion inside the porous media. The governing boundary layer equations were transformed to non-dimen...
