Rare events algorithm study of extreme double jet summers and their connection to heatwaves over the Northern Hemisphere

Valeria Mascolo, Francesco Ragone, Nili Harnik +1

Several large scale circulation patterns have been identified in relation to extreme Northern Hemisphere summer heatwaves. Three main ones are a double jet over Eurasia, a positive…

Edge-wave phase-shifts versus normal-mode phase-tilts in an Eady problem with a sloping boundary

Julian Mak, Nili Harnik, Eyal Heifetz +2

One mechanistic interpretation of baroclinic instability is that of mutual constructive interference of Rossby edge-waves. While the two edge-waves and their relative phase-shifts…

The role of tropical and extra-tropical waves in the Hadley circulation

ABS Thakur, Jai Sukhatme, Nili Harnik

The tropical overturning circulation is examined in a moist aquaplanet general circulation model forced using a non-interactive sea surface temperature (SST) distribution that vari…

Turbulence and equatorial waves in moist and dry shallow water systems

J. Schröttle, D. L. Suhas, N. Harnik +1

Turbulence and large-scale waves in the tropical region are studied using the spherical shallow water equations. With mesoscale vorticity forcing, both moist and dry systems show k…

Dry and Moist Atmospheric Circulation with Uniform Sea-Surface Temperature

D. L. Suhas, Jai Sukhatme, Nili Harnik

The steady and transient response of "dynamically" dry and moist atmospheres to uniform sea-surface temperature (SST) is studied. Specifically, the latent heat (Lv) of water vapor…

On the role of vortex stretching in energy optimal growth of three dimensional perturbations on plane parallel shear flows

H. Vitoshkin E. Heifetz, A. Yu. Gelfgat, N. Harnik

The three dimensional optimal energy growth mechanism, in plane parallel shear flows, is reexamined in terms of the role of vortex stretching and the interplay between the span-wis…
