Mechanisms for the generation of mesoscale vortices within Quasi-linear convective systems.
- Authors
Weisman, Morris L.; Davis, Christopher A.
- Abstract
Presents a study which systematically investigated the origins of mesoscale vortices within Quasi-linear convective systems, in an effort to clarify the mechanisms of formation and the factors that control their strength and scale. Role of the ambient horizontal vorticity; Analysis of the vortex-line structure; Use of the vertical-vorticity equation; Description of the experimental methodology used in this study; Findings of the study.
