When the basic zonal flow is barotropic, it is demonstrated that the cooling of the Tibetan Plateau in winter not only facilitates the meridional propagation of Rossby waves but is an important driving mechanism of the intraseasonal oscillations in middle and high latitudes. When the basic zonal flow is baroclinic, it is found that the cooling of the Tibetan Plateau in winter facilitates the instability of Rossby waves, while in summer there is a threshold for the influence of the heating of the Tibetan Plateau on the stability of Rossby waves.展开更多

It is demonstrated that the wind profile of the surface layer including turbulent dispersion has a logarithmic modification on the classical power law.

文摘From the diabatic quasi-geostrophic equations of motion, the authors analyze the characteristics of diabatic Rossby waves including the thermal effects of the Tibetan Plateau. When the basic zonal flow is barotropic, it is demonstrated that the cooling of the Tibetan Plateau in winter not only facilitates the meridional propagation of Rossby waves but is an important driving mechanism of the intraseasonal oscillations in middle and high latitudes. When the basic zonal flow is baroclinic, it is found that the cooling of the Tibetan Plateau in winter facilitates the instability of Rossby waves, while in summer there is a threshold for the influence of the heating of the Tibetan Plateau on the stability of Rossby waves.
