The Role of Sensible and Latent Heats in the Baroclinic Atmosphere

Abstract

The northward transport of sensible heat in the baroclinic atmosphere is examined in relation with the non-adiabatic heating such as the heat supply into the atmosphere from in case of adiabatic motion, is improved considerably.

Formulation of Prognostic Equations in Parameter Model

“…Only the supply of the sensible heat from the sea surface is taken as the non-adiabatic effect. For this purpose, the following approximation formulas are used, The same value used in the operational four-level model (Gambo, 1963) is given to A, that is, A=0.0015 m sec-2 deg-1.…”

The Use of Non-Geostrophic Balanced Model for Numerical Weather Prediction

“…This model was revised to include non-adiabatic effects. That is, the effects of latent heat due to the condensation by largescale upward current and the sensible heat transfer through the sea surface into the air in proportion to the temperature difference between sea surface and adjacent air were added in the model (Gambo, 1963). From Jan., 20, 1964 until the end of Mar., 1970, this model was applied operationally to the AsianPacific Area (Staff Members of Electronic Computation Center, 1965).…”
