Impact of tropical heat sources on the South American tropospheric upper circulation and subsidence

The nonlinear adjustment of the wind and mass fields to idealized tropical heat sources is studied with a simple nonlinear primitive equation model with emphasis on the upper level circulation over South America and neighboring oceanic regions during the austral summer. Numerical experiments are per...
