We consider large-eddy simulations (LES) of buoyant plumes from a circular source with initial buoyancy flux F 0 released into a stratified environment with constant buoyancy frequency N and a uniform crossflow with velocity U. We make a systematic comparison of the LES results with the mathematical theory of plumes in a crossflow. We pay particular attention to the limits [(U)\tilde] << 1{\tilde{U}\ll1} and [(U)\tilde] >> 1{\tilde{U}\gg 1}, where [(U)\tilde]=U/(F0 N)1/4{\tilde{U}=U/(F_0 N)^{1/4}}, for which analytical results are possible. For [(U)\tilde] >> 1{\tilde{U}\gg 1}, the LES results show good agreement with the well-known two-thirds law for the rise in height of the plume. Sufficiently far above the source, the centreline vertical velocity of the LES plumes is consistent with the analytical z −1/3 and z −1/2 scalings for respectively [(U)\tilde] << 1{\tilde{U}\ll 1} and [(U)\tilde] >> 1{\tilde{U}\gg 1}. In the general case, where the entrainment is assumed to be the sum of the contributions from the horizontal and vertical velocity components, we find that the discrepancy between the LES data and numerical solutions of the plume equations is largest for [(U)\tilde]=O(1){\tilde{U}=O(1)}. We propose a modified additive entrainment assumption in which the contributions from the horizontal and vertical velocity components are not equally weighted. We test this against observations of the plume generated by the Buncefield fire in the U.K. in December 2005 and find that the results compare favourably. We also show that the oscillations of the plume as it settles down to its final rise height may be attenuated by the radiation of gravity waves. For [(U)\tilde] << 1{\tilde{U}\ll 1} the oscillations decay rapidly due to the transport of energy away from the plume by gravity waves. For ${\tilde{U}>rsim 1}${\tilde{U}>rsim 1} the gravity waves travel in the same direction and at the same speed as the flow. In this case, the oscillations of the plume do not decay greatly by radiation of gravity waves.  相似文献

Surface measurements of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) number concentration (cm−3) are presented for unmodified marine air and for polluted air at Mace Head, for the years 1994 and 1995. The CCN number concentration active at 0.5% supersaturation is found to be approximately log-normal for marine and polluted air at the site. Values of geometric mean, median and arithmetic mean of CCN number concentration (cm−3) for marine air are in the range 124–135, 140–150 and 130–157 for the two years of data. Analysis of CCN number concentration for high wind speed, U, up to 20 m s−1 show enhanced CCN production for U in excess of about 10–12 m s−1. Approximately 7% increase in CCN per 1 m s−1 increase in wind speed is found, up to 17 m s−1. A relationship of the form log10CCN=a+bU is obtained for the periods March 1994 and January, February 1995 for marine air yielding values a of 1.70; 1.90 and b of 0.035 for both periods.  相似文献

An experimental study has been made of stagnation points and flow splitting on the upstream side of obstacles in uniformly stratified flow. A range from small to large values of Nh/U (where N is the buoyancy frequency, hm is the maximum obstacle height and U is the undisturbed fluid velocity) has been covered, for three obstacle shapes which are, respectively, axisymmetric, and elongated in the across-stream and in the downstream directions. Upstream stagnation for the first two of these models does not occur until Nhm/U > 1.05, where it occurs at z ≈ hm/2. On the central line below this point the flow descends and diverges, and we term this ‘flow splitting’. For the third model (elongated in the downstream direction), stagnation upstream first occurs at Nhm/U ≈ 1.43, at z ≈ 0. Results for this obstacle are not consistent with the ‘Sheppard criterion’, and this upstream flow stagnation is not apparently related to lee wave overturning, in contrast to flow over two-dimensional obstacles.  相似文献

Under growing wind-wave conditions the shear velocity,u *, over the water surface equalsg 2 H s 2 B a 2 C p 3 , whereg is the gravitational acceleration,H s is the significant wave height,B a is a constant, andC p is the wave celerity. From an independent field experiment in a lake environment which provided all three parameters (u *,H s , andC p ), the value ofB a is found to be 0.89, which is slightly lower than but consistent (within 20%) with the literature value between 0.90 and 1.06 obtained from an oceanic environment. Since thisu * equation does not include the wind speed,U 10, anotheru * formulation withU 10 in addition to the wave information is also evaluated. It is shown that the latter equation which includesU 10 is superior to the former withoutU 10.  相似文献

Summary The correlation between the normal component of theQ-vector(Q n ) and the pixel values in IR satellite images has been investigated on a six-months data set. The average linear correlation coefficients are negative in all three selected isobaric levels, but not of significant magnitude (the correlation is best for the 850 hPa level, with a correlation coefficient of about 0.3), indicating an only slight tendency for negative values ofQ n to be associated with high IR grey shade values or, in other words, with cold cloud tops. It is explained why a better correlation should be expected for frontal cases, followed by an evaluation of 14 IR images containing cloudiness of cold fronts that occurred in February 1995. The correspondence betweenQ n at the 850 hPa level and IR pixel values in those cases is compared to the statistics for the whole month of February 1995, including also nonfrontal cases. The more pronounced connection is found for frontal cases, as expected. Finally, examples of frontogenesis and frontolysis demonstrate the possibility of using the prognostic quantityQ n in combination with IR satellite imagery as a tool for operational nowcasting and/or forecasting of the development or decay of frontal cloudiness.With 8 Figures  相似文献

Summary In this study the trend of the time sequence of the integral aerosol optical depth (k a), as proposed by Unsworth and Monteith, was determined for clear days in summer for the period 1962–1988 in Athens. The trend was found by fitting a third degree polynomial curve and it was concluded that (k a) showed a considerable increase (i.e. from the value of 0.18 to 0.31) in the period 1962–1976 and remained approximately constant until 1979, after which it started decreasing again slowly until 1988. The increase of (k a) in the period 1962–1976 is likely attributable to the rapid development of the city in this period, while the decrease of (k a) after 1979 probably reflects the efficiency of some restrictions which were imposed on the pollutant emissions during this period. In addition, an analysis of the percentage frequency distribution found that while 95% of the values of (k a) ranged from 0.100 to 0.400 in the beginning of the period (1964–1967), in recent years (1984–1987) the same percentage of the values of (k a) ranged from 0.100 to 0.500.With 3 Figures  相似文献

Wind-wave relationship from SEASAT radar altimeter data   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
We present a nonlinear relationship between ocean surface wind at 10 m height (U 10 ) and significant wave height of wind-generated gravity waves, (H 1/3)gw, over the open oceans using SEASAT radar altimeter data. The data represent a variety of fetches, durations and strength of winds. Concurrent measurement of significant wave height, (H 1/3 ), which may contain a measure of swell and U 10 obtained from the processed geophysical data record (GDR) of the SEASAT radar altimeter were used in the analysis. The total wave energy, E alt, characterised by altimeter H 1/3 measurements was compared with the energy of a fully developed sea, E fd derived from U 10 measurements using the Pierson-Moskowitz model. The criteria E alt E fd was used in data selection to minimise the influence of swell. (H 1/3)gw thus obtained was used in a regression in terms of U 10 in a second-degree polynomial. Verification with independent radar altimeter data confirmed the validity of the proposed wind-wave model, which could be used for operational wave forecasting.  相似文献

Summary  The Linke T L , ?ngstr?m β and Unsworth-Monteith δ a turbidity parameters are investigated for two sites in Egypt: Cairo, a densely populated urban area, and Aswan, an arid unpolluted area. These three turbidity parameters are calculated from broadband pyrheliometric measurements recorded hourly over the period 1992–96. Monthly averages of T L , β and δ a show relatively flat and identical seasonal variations with a marked main maxima during spring at both sites, due to Khamsin depressions coming from the Great Sahara. A secondary maximum is observed at Aswan in summer, due to dust haze which prevails during that season, and at Cairo in autumn, due to the northern extension of the Sudan monsoon trough, which is accompanied by small scale depressions with dust particles. Annual mean values of T L , β and δ a (5.59, 0.250 and 0.372, respectively) at Cairo are larger than at Aswan (3.89, 0.139 and 0.213, respectively). In the same way, the seasonal mean values of T L , β and δ a at Cairo are larger than at Aswan. More generally, the monthly and yearly average turbidity values are significantly larger in Cairo than in Aswan for the whole period 1992–96, which is attributable in part to the urbanization/industrialization effect of Cairo. An estimate of the corresponding overburden is obtained by comparison between the present data and older T L data from 1922–27. It is also shown that turbidity over both sites is largest during 1992, just after the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991. The dependence of β on some meteorological parameters such as wind speed and direction, precipitable water, relative humidity, temperature and visibility, is also analyzed. This reveals in particular that visibility is not a good predictor of turbidity at either site. Conversely, the wind direction and speed have a definite effect on turbidity, and consequently, largest turbidities occur when the wind carries aerosols from the main industrial particle source areas around Cairo. For any season of the year, the average turbidity at the latter site is larger than that at other big cities such as Athens, Rome, and Toronto, but is lower than at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

Measured spectra ofθ x,θ y,θ z, the derivatives of temperature in streamwise, lateral and vertical directions, respectively, indicate that the spectral densities ofθ z andθ y are nearly similar but significantly different from the spectral density ofθ x. The high-frequency parts of the three spectra satisfy, in a qualitative sense, local isotropy requirements. In the high-frequency end of the inertial subrange, the relative behaviour of spectra ofθ x,θ y andθ z is also consistent with local isotropy.  相似文献

To understand and estimate wind speed differences across the coastal zone, two models, one theoretical and another semi-empirical, have been developed and verified by available data sets. Assuming that: (1) mean horizontal motion exists across the coastal zone; and (2) the geostrophic wind does not change appreciably at the top of the planetary boundary layer (PBL), the equation of motion in the direction of the wind can be reduced so that 341-01, where U, H, and C D are wind speed, height of PBL, and drag coefficient over the sea and land, respectively. For practice, C D SEA has been modified from a formula with U LAND as the only input. H SEA may be estimated routinely from known H D LAND LAND and the temperature difference between land and sea, which can be provided by such means as remote sensing from meteorological satellites. For a given coast, Cmay be estimated also. This formula is recommended for weather forecasters. The semiempirical formula is based mainly on the power law wind distribution with height in the PBL. The formula states that 341-02. Simultaneous offshore and onshore wind measurements made at stations ranging from Somalia, near the equator, to the Gulf of Alaska indicated that values of a and b are 2.98 and 0.34 with a correlation coefficient of -0.95. For oceanographic applications, a simplified equation, i.e., 341-03, is also proposed.  相似文献

The difference between the transferred wind speed to 10-m height based on the equivalent neutral wind approach (U n) and the logarithmic approach (U log) is studied using in situ observations from the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans, with special emphasis given to the North Indian Ocean. The study included U n ? U log variations with pressure, relative humidity, wind speed, air temperature, and sea surface temperature (SST). U n ? U log variation with respect to air temperature (T a) reveals that U n ? U log is out of phase with air temperature. Further analysis found that U n ? U log is in phase with SST (T s) ? T a and varies between ?1.0 and 1.0 m/s over the North Indian Ocean, while for the rest of the Oceans, it is between ?0.3 and 0.8 m/s. This higher magnitude of U n ? U log over the North Indian Ocean is due to the higher range of T s ? T a (?4 to 6 °C) in the North Indian Ocean. Associated physical processes suggested that the roughness length and friction velocity dependence on the air–sea temperature difference contributes to the U n ? U log difference. The study is further extended to evaluate the behavior of U n ? U log under cyclonic conditions (winds between 15 and 30 m/s), and it was found that the magnitude of Un ? U log varies 0.5–1.5 m/s under the cyclonic wind conditions. The increasing difference with the wind speed is due to the increase in the momentum transfer coefficient with wind speed, which modifies the friction velocity significantly, resulting in U n higher than U log. Thus, under higher wind conditions, U n ? U log can contribute up to half the retrieval error (5 % of the wind speed magnitude) to the satellite validation exercise.  相似文献

In this paper we study the effect of atmospheric stability on the growth of surface gravity waves. To that end we numerically solved the Taylor-Goldstein equation for wind profiles which deviate from a logarithmic form because stratification affects the turbulent momentum transport. Using Charnock's relation for the roughness height z 0 of the wind profile, it is argued that the growth rate of the wave depends on the dimensionless phase velocity c/u * (where u * is the friction velocity) and a measure of the effect of atmospheric stability, namely the dimensionless Obukhov length gL/u * 2, whereas it only depends weakly on gz t /u * 2 (where z t is the roughness height of the temperature profile). Remarkably for a given value of u * /c, the growth rate is larger for a stable stratification (L > 0) than for an unstable one (L < 0). We explain why this is the case. If, on the other hand, one considers the growth rate as a function of c/U 10 (where U 10 is the windspeed at 10 m), the situation reverses for c/U 10 < 1. For practical application in wave prediction models, we propose a new parameterization of the growth rate of the waves which is an improvement of the Snyder et al. (1981) proposal because the effect of stability is taken into account.  相似文献

A spectral approach is applied to shear-induced turbulence in stratified layers. A system of spectral equations for stationary balance of turbulent energy and temperature variances was deduced in the vicinity of the local shear scale LU = (ε/UZ3)1/2. At wavenumbers between the inertial-convective (k−5/3) and wak turbulence (k−3) subranges, additional narrow spectral intervals—‘production’ subranges—may appear (E k−1, ET k−2). The upper boundary of these subranges is determined as LU, and the lower boundaries as LR (ε/UZN2)1/2(χ/TZ2). It is shown that the scale LU is a unique spectral scale that is uniform up to a constant value for every hydrophysical field. It appears that the spectral scale LU is equivalent to the Thorpe scale LTh for the active turbulence model. Therefore, if turbulent patches are generated in a background of permanent mean shear, a linear relation between temperature and mass diffusivities exists. In spectral terms, the fossil turbulence model corresponds to the regime of the Boldgiano-Obukhov buoyancy subrange (E k−11/5, ET k−7/5). During decay the buoyancy subrange is expanded to lower and higher wavenumbers. At lower wavenumbers the buoyancy subrange is bounded by L** = 3(χ1/2/N1/2TZ), which is equivalent to the Thorpe scale LTh. In such a transition regime only, when the viscous dissipation rate is removed from the set of main turbulence parameters, the Thorpe scale does not correlate with the buoyancy scale LN ε1/2/N3/2 and fossil turbulence is realized. Oceanic turbulence measurements in the equatorial Pacific near Baker Island confirm the main ideas of the active and fossil turbulence models.  相似文献

The generation mechanisms of convective gravity waves in the stratosphere are investigated in a three-dimensional framework by conducting numerical simulations of four ideal storms under different environmental conditions: one un-sheared and three constant low-level sheared basic-state winds with the depth of the shear layer of 6 km and the surface wind speeds (Us) of 8, 18, and 28 m s?1, using the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model. The storms simulated under the un-sheared (Us = 0 m s?1), weakly sheared (Us = 8 and 18ms?1), and strongly sheared (Us = 28ms?1) basicstate winds are classified into single-cell, multicell, and supercell storms, respectively. For each storm, the wave perturbations in a control simulation, including nonlinearity and microphysical processes, are compared with those in quasi-linear dry simulations forced by diabatic forcing and nonlinear forcing that are obtained from the control simulation. The gravity waves generated by the two forcing terms in the quasi-linear dry simulations are out of phase with each other for all of the storms. The gravity waves in the control simulation are represented by a linear sum of the wave perturbations generated by the nonlinear forcing and diabatic forcing. This result is consistent with the results of previous studies in a two-dimensional framework. This implies that both forcing mechanisms are important for generating the convective gravity waves in the three-dimensional framework as well. The characteristics of the three-dimensional gravity waves in the stratosphere were determined by the spectral combination of the forcing terms and the wave-filtering and resonance factor that is determined from the basic-state wind and stability as well as the vertical structure of the forcing.  相似文献

A catalytic reduction technique for the measurement of total reactive odd-nitrogen NO y in the atmosphere was evaluated in laboratory and field tests. NO y component species include NO, NO2, NO3, HNO3, N2O5, CH3COO2NO2(PAN), and particulate nitrate. The technique utilizes the reduction of the higher oxides to NO in reaction with CO on a metal catalyst and the subsequent detection of NO by chemiluminescence produced in reaction with O3. The efficiency and linearity of the conversion of the principal NO y species were examined for mixing ratios in the range of 0.1 to 100 parts per billion by volume (ppbv). Results of tests with Au, Ni, and stainless steel as the catalyst in the temperature range of 25–500°C showed Au to be the preferred catalyst. NH3, HCN, N2O, CH4, and various chlorine and sulfur compounds were checked as possible sources of NO y interference with the Au catalyst. The effects of pressure, O3, and H2O on NO y conversion were also examined. The results of the checks and tests in the laboratory showed the technique to be suitable for initial NO y measurements in the atmosphere. The technique was subsequently tested in ambient air at a remote ground-based field site located near Niwot Ridge, Colorado. The results of conversion and inlet tests made in the field and a summary of the NO y data are included in the discussion.  相似文献

Summary  This work studies the variability of the Linke (T L ) and Unsworth-Monteith (T U ) turbidity parameters in the urban atmosphere of Athens. Beam irradiance observations performed at the Actinometric Station of the National Observatory of Athens are used in the period 1975–1995. This study examines (i) the inter-annual variation of T L and T U , (ii) their mean seasonal variability, (iii) their monthly average variation, and (iv) their mean daily variation. Also, for various air-mass origins, the mean seasonal variations of T L and T U are given. The frequency of occurrence of the parameters in various ranges is also shown. An innovative interpretation of the impact of the Saharan dust on the radiative properties in the atmosphere of Athens is attempted. Received May 19, 2000 Revised October 17, 2000  相似文献

Summary This work deals with the Linke turbidity factor, based on total spectrum observations of the direct solar beam and aerosol turbidity parametersa a , , and based on observations in broad spectral bands. Diurnal and seasonal variations of these turbidity parameters were analyzed for the period 1975 to 1991.Annual variations of these parameters show low values in winter and high values in both spring and summer. The extinction coefficients decrease with increase of both wavelength and optical airmass. Trend analysis shows an increase in aerosol extinction coefficient below 0.63 m, and a slight decrease for longer wave-lengths.Linear regression relations are also constructed to estimate botha a and whenT L is available. The relations show thata a can be estimated with errors below 20%. The relation with the parameter, may give better results when it is estimated by assigning a fixed value of .Nomenclature AV Monthly and total average of the measured parameter - a Atmospheric optical thicknes - a a Aerosol optical thickness - a r Mean value of optical thickness of.

临界起沙阈值可表征地表土壤的可蚀性,是风蚀起沙研究中非常重要的物理量之一。基于微气象学方法,将沙尘浓度和垂直沙尘通量均开始增加且至少持续0.5 h所对应的摩擦速度(或风速)确定为临界起沙摩擦速度u*t(或临界起沙风速Ut)。利用内蒙古科尔沁沙地地区2010-2013年春季大气环境综合观测资料,分析了不同沙尘天气过程(扬沙、沙尘暴和强沙尘暴)起沙阶段沙尘浓度和垂直沙尘通量随摩擦速度的演变特征,精细确定了该地区临界起沙摩擦速度(u*t)和临界起沙风速(Ut)的范围分别为0.45±0.20和6.5±3.0 m/s,同时讨论了不同起沙判据对确定临界起沙阈值产生的影响。相比而言,采用的起沙判据尽可能地排除了沙尘输送和沉降过程的影响,适用于不同的沙尘天气类型,使沙尘粒子进入大气的起沙结果更趋于合理,其结果可为建立统一、合理的起沙判据提供参考。  相似文献

High frequency measurements of wind velocity and temperature were made during the Ocean Storms Project in November 1987. The dissipation method was applied to the resulting time series in order to determine friction velocities,u *, and the characteristic temperature scale,t *, at 1-min intervals. These values were then compared to the 1-min mean wind speed and air-sea temperature differences to determine relationships for the drag coefficient (C d ) and Stanton number (C h ). The drag coefficient was comparable to other values reported in the literature, although the variation with wind speed was greater than reported by other investigators. An examination of the residual time series indicated a systematic low frequency periodicity of about 2-hr duration which was attributed to a fluctuating wind interacting with the surface gravity wave field. The temperature fluctuations did not produce meaningful estimates ofC h for stable conditions. For unstable conditions, a value of 1.09±0.02×10–3 was found.  相似文献
