ATM OCN 100 Summer NEWTON’S EQUATIONS of MOTION u 1st Law (Conservation of Inertia) Object at rest will remain at rest or object moving at constant velocity will continue until acted upon by a net force. u 2nd Law Force = mass x acceleration. u 3rd Law For every action, an equal & opposite reaction exists.

EXPLANATIONS of ATMOSPHERIC MOTION (con’t.) u Implications of Newtonian Laws u Vectors, Forces and Units –Velocity -- a vector (speed & direction) –Speed or magnitude of velocity-- a scalar [mph or meters per second, etc.] –Acceleration or rate of change of a velocity vector -- a vector [ft/sec/sec or meter/sec 2 ] –Force -- a vector -- What causes a mass to accelerate.

ATM OCN 100 Summer FORCES ASSOCIATED WITH ATMOSPHERIC MOTION u Following forces influence motion of air parcels: –Pressure Gradient Force –Gravitational Force or Gravity –Coriolis Effect or "Force" –Frictional Force or Friction –Centripetal Force or more specifically --

ATM OCN 100 Summer PRESSURE GRADIENT FORCE u Generated by differences in pressure within a fluid element; u Responsible for initiation of all air motion;

ATM OCN 100 Summer Explaining Differences in Air Pressure u Low Pressure u High Pressure

ATM OCN 100 Summer PRESSURE GRADIENT FORCE (con’t.) u A 3-dimensional vector that has: u Magnitude of pressure gradient force vector depends: –directly upon difference in pressure over a given distance (i.e., slope or grade equals “pressure gradient”). u Direction of pressure gradient force vector is: –from H igh pressure to L ow pressure, –along steepest direction of pressure gradient.

ATM OCN 100 Summer PRESSURE GRADIENT FORCE (con’t.)

ATM OCN 100 Summer PRESSURE GRADIENT FORCE (con’t.)

ATM OCN 100 Summer GRAVITATIONAL FORCE or GRAVITY u Produced by mutual physical attraction between massive bodies; u Gravity refers to acceleration; u Acts continuously, regardless of motion; u A vector quantity that has: –Direction – toward center of earth. –Magnitude ~ 9.8 m/s 2 (32 ft/s 2 )

ATM OCN 100 Summer GRAVITATIONAL FORCE or GRAVITY (con’t.) u Magnitude of gravity vector depends upon: –Mass of earth & object; –Distance between two objects; (inverse square relationship). – [NOTE: Isaac Newton quantified relationship] –Usually gravity is assumed 32 ft/s 2 = 9.8m/s 2. u Direction of gravity vector is –toward vicinity of earth’s center (i.e., essentially downward).

ATM OCN 100 Summer CORIOLIS EFFECT or FORCE u Produced by earth’s rotation; u A “fictitious force” used to explain apparent deflection of moving object on a rotating frame of reference;

ATM OCN 100 Summer CORIOLIS EFFECT or FORCE u Produced by earth’s rotation; u A “fictitious force” used to explain apparent deflection of moving object on a rotating frame of reference;

ATM OCN 100 Summer CORIOLIS EFFECT or FORCE (con’t.) Speed is dependent upon latitude:

ATM OCN 100 Summer CORIOLIS EFFECT or FORCE (con’t.)

ATM OCN 100 Summer Coriolis Effects upon the Wind Fig. 9.6 Moran & Morgan (1997)

ATM OCN 100 Summer CORIOLIS EFFECT or FORCE (con’t.) u Produced by earth’s rotation; u A “fictitious force” used to explain apparent deflection of moving object on a rotating frame of reference; u Acts only after motion is initiated; u Can only modify direction of motion; u A 3-dimensional vector, but consider only horizontal component described by:

ATM OCN 100 Summer CORIOLIS EFFECT or FORCE (con’t.) u Magnitude of horizontal Coriolis force vector depends upon: –Rotation rate of earth (Direct relationship); –Speed of object; (Direct relationship) –Latitude (specifically, sine of latitude).

ATM OCN 100 Summer CORIOLIS EFFECT or FORCE (con’t.) u Direction of horizontal component of Coriolis force vector: –Causes a deflection of moving object to right of direction of motion in Northern Hemisphere; but –Deflects moving object to left of intended motion in Southern Hemisphere.

ATM OCN 100 Summer FRICTIONAL FORCE or FRICTION u Produced by “viscosity” (interactions of moving fluid elements with one another or with a boundary surface) due to: –random molecular motions; –large random turbulent motions of fluid associated with either: F thermal turbulence F mechanical turbulence

ATM OCN 100 Summer An example of Turbulent Viscosity Fig. 9.5 Moran & Morgan (1997)

ATM OCN 100 Summer FRICTIONAL FORCE (con’t.) u Acts only after motion is initiated; u Acts to retard motion; u Magnitude of friction force vector depends upon: –Speed of motion of fluid; –Type of surface, e.g., “surface roughness”; –Temperature structure of fluid. u Direction of friction force vector is –opposite motion vector.

ATM OCN 100 Summer Relative Surface Roughness Source: Stull, 1995

ATM OCN 100 Summer Centripetal Force Fig. 9.3 Moran & Morgan (1997)

ATM OCN 100 Summer CENTRIPETAL FORCE u Produces curved motion; u Opposite the “centrifugal force”; u Acts only after motion is initiated; In reality, a net force Used to describe imbalance of other forces in curved motion;

ATM OCN 100 Summer CENTRIPETAL FORCE VECTOR (con’t.) u Centripetal force vector is described by: u Magnitude of centripetal force vector depends upon: –Speed of instantaneous motion (a direct relationship); –Radius of curvature (an inverse relationship). u Direction of centripetal force vector is –inward toward center of curvature.

ATM OCN 100 Summer SUMMARIZING u A 3-D Equation of Motion for Atmosphere (in word form) : Net force = Pressure gradient force + gravitation force + Coriolis force + friction. Net force = Pressure gradient force + gravitation force + Coriolis force + friction. u Notes: –The above is a vector equation! –Since a unit mass is used, force is equivalent to an acceleration.
