dc.description.abstract
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 cyclogenesis, namely rotation and meridional
temperature gradient are quite well captured in this simple arrangement. The
radial temperature difference in the cylindrical tank and its rotation rate
can be set so that the isothermal surfaces in the bulk tilt, leading to the
formation of baroclinic waves. The signatures of these waves at the free water
surface have been analyzed via infrared thermography in a wide range of
rotation rates (keeping the radial temperature difference constant) and under
different initial conditions. In parallel to the laboratory experiments, five
groups of the MetStröm collaboration have conducted numerical simulations in
the same parameter regime using different approaches and solvers, and applying
different initial conditions and perturbations. The experimentally and
numerically obtained baroclinic wave patterns have been evaluated and compared
in terms of their dominant wave modes, spatio-temporal variance properties and
drift rates. Thus certain “benchmarks” have been created that can later be
used as test cases for atmospheric numerical model validation.
