Atmospheric Vortices

  • Chapter
Fluid Vortices

Part of the book series: Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications ((FMIA,volume 30))

Abstract

This chapter discusses atmospheric vortices. §2 of the chapter presents a brief derivation of the mathematical formulation used in characterizing atmospheric vortices. Atmospheric turbulent vortices are discussed in §3. Solenoidally-generated vortices, which include sea and land breezes, mountain-valley circulations, and microbursts are discussed in §4, while small-scale vortices generated by vertical shear of the horizontal wind are briefly described in §5. Synoptic-scale vortices are introduced in §6, cumulonimbus-caused mesoscale vortical motion is presented in §7, and mesoscale vortices resulting from horizontal shear of the horizontal wind are discussed in §8. A relatively in-depth summary of tornadoes and tropical cyclones is given in §9 and §10, respectively. Finally, a summary of the chapter is presented in §11.
