advantages and disadvantages of using “stokes parameters” in exploration of inertia-gravity wave properties are discussed in this paper. the survey is carried out on an inertia-gravity wave event (igws in what follows) that occurred over iran from 7 to 9 february 2012. applying this technique for investigation of atmospheric igws was recommended by vincent and fritts (1987) and then developed b...

Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is used to analyze the wave-decay process in a countercurrent air/water turbulent flow. Three dimensionless numbers describe the problem: the Reynolds number Re τ (which measures the importance of inertia compared to viscosity), the Weber number We (which measures the importance of inertia compared to surface tension) and the Froude number Fr (which measures th...

We report on a numerical study of the impact of short, fast inertia-gravity waves on the large-scale, slowlyevolving flow with which they co-exist. A nonlinear quasigeostrophic numerical model of a stratified shear flow is used to simulate, at reasonably high resolution, the evolution of a large-scale mode which grows due to baroclinic instability and equilibrates at finite amplitude. Ageostrop...

The linear stability of a rotating, stratified, inviscid horizontal plane Couette flow in a channel is studied in the limit of strong rotation and stratification. Two dimensionless parameters characterize the flow: the Rossby number ǫ, defined as the ratio of the shear to the Coriolis frequency and assumed small, and the ratio s of the Coriolis frequency to the buoyancy frequency, assumed to sa...

In this study, a numerical examination of the significance of rotation and changeable gravitational field on the start of nanofluid convective movement in an anisotropic porous medium layer is shown. A model that accounts for the impact of Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis is used for nanofluid, while Darcy’s law is taken for the porous medium. The porous layer is subjected to uniform rotat...

A Doppler lidar observation of an inertio-gravity wave in the mid-latitude lower stratosphere is presented. The wave packet characteristics (vertical and horizontal wavenumbers, intrinsic and apparent frequencies) are inferred from the analysis of the hodograph of the horizontal wind fluctuations. Those parameters are used as initial conditions for the calculation of the wave packet trajectory ...
