Extreme events in a polar warming scenario--a laboratory perspective

Costanza Rodda, Uwe Harlander, Miklos Vincze

We report on a set of laboratory experiments to investigate the effect of Arctic warming on the amplitude and drift speed of the mid-latitude jet stream. Our results show that a pr…

Laboratory investigations on the resonant feature of `dead water' phenomenon

Karim Medjdoub, Imre M. Jánosi, Miklós Vincze

Interfacial internal wave excitation in the wake of towed ships is studied experimentally in a quasi-two layer fluid. At a critical `resonant' towing velocity, whose value depends…

Temperature fluctuations in a changing climate: an ensemble-based experimental approach

Miklos Vincze, Ion Borcia, Uwe Harlander

There is an ongoing debate in the literature about whether the present global warming is increasing local and global temperature variability. The central methodological issues of t…

Experiments on barotropic-baroclinic conversion and the applicability of linear n-layer internal wave theories

Miklós Vincze, Tamás Bozóki

Interfacial internal waves in a stratified fluid excited by periodic free-surface perturbations in a closed tank are studied experimentally. Barotropic-baroclinic energy conversion…

Double-diffusive convection and baroclinic instability in a differentially heated and initially stratified rotating system: the barostrat instability

Miklos Vincze, Ion Borcia, Uwe Harlander +1

A water-filled differentially heated rotating annulus with initially prepared stable vertical salinity profiles is studied in the laboratory. Based on two-dimensional horizontal pa…

Benchmarking in a rotating annulus: a comparative experimental and numerical study of baroclinic wave dynamics

Miklos Vincze, Sebastian Borchert, Ulrich Achatz +11

The differentially heated rotating annulus is a widely studied tabletop-size laboratory model of the general mid-latitude atmospheric circulation. The two most relevant factors of…

An experimental study of regime transitions in a differentially heated baroclinic annulus with flat and sloping bottom topographies

Miklos Vincze, Uwe Harlander, Thomas von Larcher +1

A series of laboratory experiments has been carried out in a thermally driven rotating annulus to study the onset of baroclinic instability, using horizontal and uniformly sloping…
