Title: Jet dynamics in topographically-forced shallow-water planetary atmospheres
Event: (ADIW03) Climate Applications of Layering

Abstract: This talk examines the emergence of jets and their long-time dynamics in global spherical rotatingshallow-water flows. Departing from many past studies, we apply space and time-varying(time-correlated) topographic-like forcing exclusively, and weakly damp thermally. Resultsare presented using Contour Advection, a numerical approach designed to have extremelyweak numerical damping, and thus suitable for investigating long-time dynamics. Theresponse to topographic forcing differs significantly from previously-considered vorticityforcing, with a much larger role played by divergent motions (imbalance). Like in previousstudies, well-defined quasi-zonal jets emerge, but these jets can drift meridionally, whichappears to be an effect induced by the divergent motions.
