Title: Energy balance, radiative heating rate in the atmosphere, and entropy productionAbstract: Temporal and spatial distribution of absorption of shortwave radiation and emission of longwave radiation by Earth drives dynamics in the atmosphere. In addition, net surface radiative flux drives evaporation of water vapor and the hydrological cycle. Shortwave radiation absorbed by Earth changes the […]

The (Not So) Anomalous Wind: Rethinking Gradient Wind Balance Regimes Gradient wind balance is one of the basic concepts taught in dynamic meteorology classes. Textbooks such as that by Holton go over 4 regimes of the gradient wind solutions: (1) Regular Low, (2) Regular High, (3) Anomalous Low, and (4) Anomalous High. Whether the “anomalous” […]
