Heat and Moisture Budget Analysis with an Improved Form of Moist Thermodynamics

Wayne H. Schubert, Paul E. Ciesielski, Richard H. Johnson

In order to understand the effects of cumulus convection on large-scale atmospheric motions, heat and moisture budget analyses are often performed using data from an array of radio…

Elliptic Transverse Circulation Equations for Balanced Models in a Generalized Vertical Coordinate

Wayne H. Schubert, Scott R. Fulton, Paul E. Ciesielski

When studying tropical cyclones using the -plane, axisymmetric, gradient balanced model, there arises a second-order elliptic equation for the transverse circulation. Similarly,…

Tropical cyclone boundary layer shocks

Christopher J. Slocum, Gabriel J. Williams, Richard K. Taft +1

This paper presents numerical solutions and idealized analytical solutions of axisymmetric, -plane models of the tropical cyclone boundary layer. In the numerical model, the bou…
