Sentence examples for large scale circulation from inspiring English sources

However, in terms of predicting whether a hurricane will hit NOLA or Mobile AL, that is inherently uncertain more than few days out (predictability depending on the large scale circulation system and the strength of the storm).

Wave studies from four nights have been made and the correlative information describes the intrinsic wave properties with altitude, their damping characteristics, and resulting accelerations to the large scale circulation in the 85 100 km altitude region.

In this model, equations are solved that describe changes in both the large-scale circulation and the tropical cyclone itself.

Jupiter has no solid surface hence, no topographic features and the planet's large-scale circulation is dominated by latitudinal currents.

A second type of model, called a statistical-dynamical model, forecasts the large-scale circulation by solving equations that describe changes in atmospheric pressure, wind, and moisture.

Tropical cyclones originate from loosely organized, large-scale circulation systems such as those associated with the strong, low-level easterly jet over Africa.

This also strengthens the idea that the ultimate driving force of plate tectonics is a large-scale circulation of the mantle.

The recent research using that model suggests that the huge increase in pollution around the North Atlantic basin in the mid-20th century cooled the surface enough to change the large-scale circulation of the atmosphere, suppressing storms.

The slope in sea level across the Gulf Stream has been measured by satellite radar altimeter to be one metre over a horizontal distance of 100 km (62 miles), which is sufficient to cause a surface geostrophic current of one metre per second at 43° N. The large-scale circulation of the Gulf Stream system is, however, only one aspect of a far more complex and richer structure of circulation.

Just like weather on Earth, he says, stellar weather probably involves local manifestations of large-scale circulation patterns.

The combined effects of these large-scale circulation patterns, usually referred to as the Brewer-Dobson circulation, can be profound.
