Presentation Transcript

  1. Observed=5.8 PW at 35o Possible=8.8 PW at 36o

  2. Dynamic Heat Transport The heat transport implied from radiation is transported by several different mechanisms in the atmosphere and ocean Masuda, 1988

  3. Heating in Held-Suarez control W/m^2 Per layer

  4. Heating in Held Suarez- control Units = per day Units = K

  5. Vertically Integrated Net HeatingHeld-Suarez 40 20 0 W/m^2 -20 -40

  6. Real EARTH (ERBE) net Radiation

  7. Net heating at each latitude

  8. What if HS was isothermal?

  9. Net heating at each latitude - Isothermal

  10. Held-Suarez Heat Transport Realized=2.8 PW at 32o Possible=6.2 PW at 26o

  11. But, Dynamically the heat transport should be controlled by the temperature gradient 260 240 220 240 260 Temperature Gradient in the model is close to real Earth’s

  12. Farrell cell picks up heat transport to meet radiative constraints Is this coincidental?

  13. Local Thermodynamics force the vertical motion Adiabatic Cooling Eddy Heat Flux Divergence Net Radiation

  14. Forcing of Vertical Motion in the Real World

  15. Dynamic Heat Transport Wallace Notes. Probably Courtesy of Someone else
