Atms 4320 / 7320 The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation.
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • A few weeks ago, we talked about the Z-O equation and it’s interpretation. Now derive Omega equation; • Equations of Motion • 1st Law • hydrostatic balance • Continuity • Eqn. of State
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • More than one way to derive, but we’ll follow derivation similar to Z-O equation. Consult Krishnamurti (1968, MWR) or Dutton (1968, QJRMS). • Start w/ hydrostatic balance and substitute equation of state.
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • Invoke equation of state?
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • Rework by
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • Rework First law • And then
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • Here it is
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • Rework vorticity equation (x,y,p coordinates) • and
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • Substitute into hydrostatic balance and Viola!
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • Continue to manipulate (split off divergence term):
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • Krishnamurti (1968, MWR) Puts all forcing for omega on the RHS of the equation. • Dutton (1968, QJRMS) Puts all forcing for omega on the LHS. • Solve this using numerical methods. • Can you name the terms?
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • Now interpret dynamic forcing:
The Omega Equation: A physical interpretation. • Now interpret thermodynamic forcing:
