Hierarchy of Mesoscale Flow Assumptions and Equations

摘要: Abstract The present research proposes a standard nomenclature for mesoscale meteorological concepts and integrates existing of atmospheric space scales, flow assumptions, governing equations, resulting motions into hierarchy useful in categorization models. New dynamically based time- space-scale boundaries are proposed, consistent with the importance Coriolis force. In proposed flow-class classification, starting point is complete (no approximations) set equations non-Boussinesq flows. subsequent scale analysis. deep shallow Boussinesq divisions Dutton Fichtl kept, as shallow-flow subdivisions Mahrt addition, analysis approach extended to motions. Limits applicability each derived equation (with respect phenomena that can be simulated) also discussed. organiz...
