A parameterization model for calculation of vertical fluxes of momentum due to terrain induced gravity waves
SMHI.
1976 (English)Report (Other academic)
Abstract [sv]

Olika källor visar att det vertikala flödet av impulsmoment beroende på gravitationsvågor kan uppgå till flera tiondels pascal över bergstrakter. De därmed sammanhängande vindtendenserna är flera m/s per dag under typiska förhållanden. Beroende på storleken av denna effekt har en metod utvecklats för att parameterisera detta flöde inom ramen för en storskalig numerisk prognosmodell. Beräkningsmodellen arbetar med en kontinuerlig, och inom varje skikt lineär vindprofil och en konstant statisk stabilitet i varje skikt. Den nedre randen i varje storskalig gridbox kommer bara in som en funktion av topografin i olika riktningar. Några testfall visar vilka resultat parameteriseringsmodellen kan ge.

Abstract [en]

Various sources of informatio n indicate vertic al fluxes of mountain induced wave momentum to be on the order of several tenths of a Pascal over mountaineous terrain . The implied wind tendencies in layers of wave absorption in typical situations are several meters per second per day . On the basis of the size of this probable effect , a parameterization model has been developed to calculate t h e momentum fluxes within the framework of a large- scale numerical weather prediction model. The calculation model assumes a continuous linear wind profile as well as constant stability within each layer . The hydrostatic assumption is made for the total motion . The vertical velocities and resultant vertical momenturn fluxes are caused by the air being forced over the topography . For this mode l , the individual spectral elements of the terrain height are not important . Rather , an integral ov er the elements is used as the forcing function which determines the momen - turn flux magnitude . This forcing function must be determine-d as a function of horizontal direction for each largescale grid box . Sample calculations are given which illustrate the results possible from the parameterization model .
