Dynamical Consequences of Polar Amplification on Standing Rossby Waves: a Laboratory Perspective
Kial D. Stewart, Thomas G. Schmaltz, Callum J. Shakespeare
Polar amplification describes the predicted reduction in the latitudinal surface temperature gradient, which will have physical implications for mid-latitude dynamics. The precise…
Exciting Standing Rossby Waves in the Large Rotating Annulus
Kial D. Stewart, Callum J. Shakespeare, Thomas G. Schmaltz
Laboratory experiments with rotating tanks remain the premier physical analogue for atmospheric dynamics. Often, the equipment involved is engineered to be sufficiently versatile a…
Evaluating and improving wave and non-wave stress parametrisations for oceanic flows
Daniel R. Johnston, Callum J. Shakespeare, Navid C. Constantinou
Whenever oceanic currents flow over rough topography, there is an associated stress that acts to modify the flow. In the deep ocean, this stress is predominantly a form drag due to…
Rapid topographic scatter of near-inertial waves generated by storms
Ashley J. Barnes, Callum J. Shakespeare, Andy McC. Hogg +1
Internal waves propagate on the ocean's stratification, carrying energy and redistributing momentum through the ocean. When internal waves break, they contribute to diapycnal mixin…
