Evidence against a general positive eddy feedback in atmospheric blocking
Lei Wang, Zhiming Kuang
The eddy straining mechanism of Shutts (1983; S83) has long been considered a main process for explaining the maintenance of atmospheric blocking. As hypothesized in S83, incoming…
Quantifying the annular mode dynamics in an idealized atmosphere
Pedram Hassanzadeh, Zhiming Kuang
The linear response function (LRF) of an idealized GCM, the dry dynamical core with Held-Suarez physics, is used to accurately compute how eddy momentum and heat fluxes change in r…
Quantifying the eddy-jet feedback strength of the annular mode in an idealized GCM and reanalysis data
Ding Ma, Pedram Hassanzadeh, Zhiming Kuang
A linear response function (LRF) that relates the temporal tendency of zonal mean temperature and zonal wind to their anomalies and external forcing is used to accurately quantify…
The linear response function of an idealized atmosphere. Part 2: Implications for the practical use of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem and the role of operator's non-normality
Pedram Hassanzadeh, Zhiming Kuang
A linear response function (LRF) relates the mean-response of a nonlinear system to weak external forcings and vice versa. Even for simple models of the general circulation, such a…
Mechanisms for convection triggering by cold pools
Giuseppe Torri, Zhiming Kuang, Yang Tian
Cold pools are fundamental ingredients of deep convection. They contribute to organizing the sub-cloud layer and are considered key elements in triggering convective cells. It was…
The linear response function of an idealized atmosphere. Part 1: Construction using Green's functions and applications
Pedram Hassanzadeh, Zhiming Kuang
A linear response function (LRF) determines the mean-response of a nonlinear climate system to weak imposed forcings, and an eddy flux matrix (EFM) determines the eddy momentum and…
Excitation of slow MJO-like Kelvin waves in the equatorial atmosphere by Yanai wave-group via WISHE-induced convection
Aviv Solodoch, William Boos, Zhiming Kuang +1
The intraseasonal Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) involves a slow eastward-propagating signal in the tropical atmosphere which significantly influences climate yet is not well unde…
