Abstract: | Based on steady semi-geostrophic model equations,analysis is carried out of the linear and nonlinear modification/response of the tropical atmosphere to the forcing of ideal paired heat sources of contrasting nature.Resuits show that the linear part is dominant in the steady response but the nonlinear modification is quite noticable in the neighborhood of the heat source and between the paired sources,and the barotropic mode and second baroclinic mode play a different role in the modification,with the barotropic(second baroclinic)mode modification depending largely on the Rossby wave self-interaction(the magnitude due to the Kelvin-Rossby wave interaction)between the paired sources. |
