Examples in Context

  1. An interesting feature is that this component is not a zonal wave type oscillation, but rather a meridional wave type fluctuation.
  2. It is found that the topographic and thermal forced waves with zonal wave number 1-3 are able to penetrate into the stratosphere.
  3. From these experiments, it seems that the formation of blocking high is related to the nonlinear adjustment between flow fields and diabatic processes with moisture, and the nonlinear interaction of zonal currents and wave components under orographic forcing.
  4. The effects of zonal flows on ultra-long wave energy
  5. The analysed results show that before the occurrence of the blocking situation, the zonal wind decreases through the wave & mean flow interaction, and the interaction has different characters over the Pacific and Atlantic.
