The key physical parameters governing frictional dissipation in a precipitating atmosphere
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Victor G. Gorshkov, Andrei V. Nefiodov +4
Precipitation generates small-scale turbulent air flows the energy of which ultimately dissipates to heat. The power of this process has previously been estimated to be around 2-4…
Condensation of water vapor in the gravitational field
Victor G. Gorshkov, Anastassia M. Makarieva, Andrei V. Nefiodov
Physical peculiarities of water vapor condensation under conditions of hydrostatic equilibrium are considered. The power of stationary dynamic air fluxes and the vertical temperatu…
Condensational theory of stationary tornadoes
Anastassia M. Makarieva, Victor G. Gorshkov, Andrei V. Nefiodov
Using the Bernoulli integral for air streamline with condensing water vapor a stationary axisymmetric tornado circulation is described. The obtained profiles of vertical, radial an…
