A Numerical Study of Gravity Wave Breaking and Impacts on Turbulence and Mean State

摘要: Abstract A model system is established that includes three interactive components: a dynamics model, turbulence and chemistry model. The solves the two-dimensional, nonlinear, nonhydrostatic, compressible, viscous flow equations, adapted from 2.5-level Mellor–Yamada with minor adjustments. models are coupled to study mesoscale impacts of gravity wave breaking on atmospheric compositional structures. present focuses local distribution atomic oxygen ozone. used propagation, growth, breakdown, its mean state in middle upper atmosphere. inclusion makes it possible long-term evolution after presence nonuniform turbulence, as well interaction between turbulence.
