Abstract

This study investigates changes in the propagation and maintenance of convectively coupled Kelvin waves (KWs) in response to surface warming. We use a set of three aquaplanet simulations made with the Community Atmospheric Model version 6 by varying the sea surface temperature boundary conditions to represent the current climate as well as warmer (+4 K) and cooler (−4 K) climates. Results show that KWs accelerate at the rate of about 7.1%/K and their amplitudes decrease by 4.7%/K. The dampening of KWs with warming is found to be associated with a weakening of the internal thermodynamic feedback between diabatic heating and temperature anomalies that generates KW eddy available potential energy (EAPE). The phase speed of KWs closely matches that of the second baroclinic mode KW in −4 K, while the phase speed of KWs is approximately that of the first baroclinic mode KW in +4 K. Meanwhile, the coupling between the two baroclinic modes weakens with warming. We hypothesize that in −4 K, as the first and second baroclinic modes are strongly coupled, KWs destabilize by positive EAPE generation within the second baroclinic mode and propagate more slowly, following the second baroclinic mode KW phase speed. In +4 K, as the first and second baroclinic modes decouple, KWs are damped by negative EAPE generation within the first baroclinic mode and propagate faster, following the first baroclinic mode KW phase speed.

水行星模拟中对凸耦合开尔文波对表面温度强迫的响应
本研究调查了对流耦合开尔文波(KWs)的传播和维持随海面变暖而发生的变化。我们利用共同体大气模式第 6 版进行了三组水行星模拟,通过改变海面温度边界条件来代表当前气候以及更暖(+4 K)和更冷(-4 K)的气候。结果表明,KWs 的加速度约为 7.1%/K,振幅下降了 4.7%/K。研究发现,KWs 随气候变暖而减弱与产生 KW 涡旋可用势能(EAPE)的非绝热加热和温度异常之间的内部热力学反馈减弱有关。KWs 的相位速度与 -4 K 时的第二巴氏模式 KW 的相位速度接近,而 KWs 的相位速度与 +4 K 时的第一巴氏模式 KW 的相位速度接近。我们推测,在 -4 K 时,由于第一和第二巴洛克利模式之间的耦合很强,KWs 在第二巴洛克利模式内产生的正 EAPE 使其失稳,并跟随第二巴洛克利模式 KW 的相位速度缓慢传播。在 +4 K 时,随着第一和第二巴氏模式的解耦,KW 因第一巴氏模式内产生的负 EAPE 而失稳,并跟随第一巴氏模式 KW 的相位速度加速传播。
