A Numerical Modeling Study of the Catalina Eddy

摘要: Abstract A numerical modeling study of the Catalina Eddy was performed to investigate causes his occasional vortex over Bight California. The eddy successfully simulated by imposing mesoscale domain a strong northwesterly flow resembling one that associated with June 1988 occurrence. In simulation, low pressure center form in Ice San Rafael Mountains, is, northern bight. forms because leeside subsidence warning; daytime diabatic heating traverses mountains is insignificant. response low, large-scale turns cyclonically around Point Conception, strengthening westerly component coastal south Los Angeles are barrier northwesterlies and bight, causing marine air pool below mountains' mean height. pooled replaces much warmer strongly inverted lay...
