AI总结:

本文研究了非传统科里奥利加速度(完整科里奥利项)对等温、流体静力和可压缩大气的影响,通过线性稳定性分析和数值实验,发现静止大气在特定边界条件下会出现一种新的指数增长的不稳定模式。

摘要:

传统近似忽略了科里奥利加速度的余弦分量,该近似已被广泛应用于地球物理现象的研究中。然而,在某些情况下,传统近似的合理性是值得怀疑的。特别是,具有显著垂直速度的动力学或热带地区的地球物理现象具有不可忽略的余弦科里奥利项。此类情况需要使用非传统设置(即完整的科里奥利加速度)进行研究。在本文中,我们假设经向均匀流动,研究了非传统设置对等温、流体静力和可压缩大气的影响。采用线性稳定性分析,我们表明,在适当的边界条件下,即允许垂直能量通量的底部边界条件和顶部无反射边界,静止大气变得容易出现一种新的不稳定模式。通过尺度分析研究了假设经向均匀流动的有效性。进行了数值实验,并使用 Rayleigh damping 作为无反射顶部边界的数值近似。我们的三个主要结果如下。1) 包含完整科里奥利项的实验表现出指数增长的不稳定性,而受传统近似约束的实验保持稳定。2) 实验的不稳定增长率接近理论值。3) 即使在次优底部边界条件下,也会出现该不稳定模式的扰动版本。最后,我们通过讨论局限性、影响和剩余的开放问题来总结我们的研究。具体而言,讨论了对数值深层大气模型的影响以及不稳定模式的可能物理解释。

英文摘要:

The traditional approximation neglects the cosine components of the Coriolis acceleration, and this approximation has been widely used in the study of geophysical phenomena. However, the justification of the traditional approximation is questionable under a few circumstances. In particular, dynamics with substantial vertical velocities or geophysical phenomena in the tropics have non-negligible cosine Coriolis terms. Such cases warrant investigations with the non-traditional setting, i.e., the full Coriolis acceleration. In this manuscript, we study the effect of the non-traditional setting on an isothermal, hydrostatic and compressible atmosphere assuming a meridionally homogeneous flow. Employing linear stability analysis, we show that, given appropriate boundary conditions, i.e., a bottom boundary condition that allows for a vertical energy flux and non-reflecting boundary at the top, the atmosphere at rest becomes prone to a novel unstable mode. The validity of assuming a meridionally homogeneous flow is investigated via scale analysis. Numerical experiments were conducted, and Rayleigh damping was used as a numerical approximation for the non-reflecting top boundary. Our three main results are as follows. 1) Experiments involving the full Coriolis terms exhibit an exponentially growing instability, yet experiments subjected to the traditional approximation remain stable. 2) The experimental instability growth rate is close to the theoretical value. 3) A perturbed version of the unstable mode arises even under sub-optimal bottom boundary conditions. Finally, we conclude our study by discussing the limitations, implications, and remaining open questions. Specifically, the influence on numerical deep-atmosphere models and possible physical interpretations of the unstable mode are discussed.
