2. Masaru Yamamoto, Kohei Ikeda, Masaaki Takahashi, Masaki Satoh, Rotational/divergent flow and energy conversion of thermal tides in a Venus general circulation model, Icarus, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2023.115921, 411, Article ID 115921, 2024.03, [URL], Venusian thermal tides are discussed as a three-dimensional response to solar heating, which is strongly modified by both barotropic and baroclinic energy conversions in a fully developed super-rotation. Thermal tides such as gravity waves propagate upward and downward from the cloud top (∼65 km) at low latitudes, while tidal gyres such as Rossby waves appear at high latitudes according to the general circulation model (GCM) developed at Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute (AORI), The University of Tokyo. Around the cloud-top heating maximum, strong poleward/equatorward tidal flows are formed by both divergent and rotational flows that are in phase, and equatorial super-rotation is accelerated by the equatorward and vertical momentum fluxes of the diurnal tides and the vertical flux of the semidiurnal tides. These thermal tides are a result of solar heating as well as energy conversions from the zonal-mean jet and its related temperature gradient. The gravity wave is thermally forced in the cloud-top heating maximum where diabatic heating produces eddy available potential energy. The Rossby waves are formed in mid- and high-latitudinal regions where diurnal barotropic energy conversion occurs around the zonal-mean jet core and semidiurnal baroclinic energy conversion occurs below the cloud layer far from the solar heating region..
3. Masaru Yamamoto, Takumi Hirose, Kohei Ikeda, Masaaki Takahashi, Masaki Satoh, Short-period planetary-scale waves in a Venus general circulation model: Rotational and divergent component structures and energy conversions, Icarus, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2022.115392, 392, Article ID 115392, 2023.03, [URL], To elucidate the generation and coupling of the short-period waves in the Venus atmosphere, we investigated the three-dimensional wave structure in an AORI (Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Japan) Venus general circulation model. The most predominant waves are 7.5-day waves with zonal wavenumber 1 and are slower than observed planetary-scale 5.5-day waves around the cloud bottom (∼50 km), associated with a slower zonal flow in the model. The 7.5-day waves comprise three types: Type I, a Rossby wave in the upper cloud layer; Type II, a Rossby wave around the polar tropopause (∼50 km); and Type III, an equatorial Kelvin-like wave around and below the cloud bottom.

Around the cloud top (65–70 km), the Rossby wave (Type I) has a rotational eddy structure and is produced by potential-energy conversion from zonal mean to eddy, suggesting baroclinic instability in the cloud layer. The geopotential of the Rossby wave in the upper cloud layer vertically connects to that of the equatorial Kelvin-like wave (Type III) across the critical line at ∼55 km and 30° latitudes. At the cloud bottom (∼50 km), the Kelvin-like wave and Rossby wave (Type II) are separated at a critical latitude around the cloud bottom, but are horizontally jointed with the stream function and velocity potential at the critical latitude. These two waves are major equatorward momentum transporters and are generated by horizontal shear (or barotropic) and baroclinic instabilities associated with energy conversion at the critical line. For high-latitude Rossby waves around the polar tropopause (Type II), the positive kinetic-energy conversion by vertical momentum transport is predominant, tending to relax the vertical shear of the zonal flow, leading in turn to relaxation of the horizontal temperature gradient under the cyclostrophic thermal wind. In contrast, the negative potential-energy conversion tends to produce the horizontal temperature gradient in the lower atmosphere where the solar insolation is very weak.

The equatorial jet core rotating with a 7.5-day period is composed of both divergent and rotational wind components of the equatorial Kelvin-like wave at the cloud bottom. Above the critical level of the Kelvin-like wave, the equatorial Rossby wave (downward and equatorward flank of the Type I wave) appears at around 54 km and is produced by the barotropic energy conversion..

8. Masaru Yamamoto, Atmospheric response to the North Pacific hotspot in idealized simulations: Application to explosive and binary cyclogenesis, Atmospheric Science Letters, 10.1002/asl.1060, 22, article ID e1060, 2021.10, Marginal seas of the western North Pacific Ocean act as a hotspot in winter, warming the marine atmosphere. The atmospheric response to lower-level (below 700 hPa altitude) heating localized around this hotspot was studied using an idealized general circulation model with an assumed triangular hotspot. As simulated in previous studies, localized atmospheric heating over the mid-latitude hotspot enhances the westerly jet core, forming a stationary Rossby wave north of the core. This study found that the hotspot remotely influences the Rossby wave source (the sum of vortex stretching and vorticity advection caused by the divergent flow) and temperature deviations at upper levels (200–300 hPa). These results are qualitatively consistent with the winter climatology. The idealized experiment was applied to explosive and binary extratropical cyclones (pairs of surface cyclones located north and south of the main Japanese islands). The active area of transient eddies at lower levels splits into two in the hotspot, leading to regional explosive development and the formation of binary cyclones through an enhanced meridionally elongated trough. The hotspot is an essential factor driving the bifurcation of cyclone tracks into the southern and northern areas of Japan, leading to binary cyclones..

10. Masaru Yamamoto, Kohei Ikeda, Masaaki Takahashi, Atmospheric response to high-resolution topographical and radiative forcings in a general circulation model of Venus: Time-mean structures of waves and variances, Icarus, 10.1016/j.icarus.2020.114154, 355, Article ID 114154, 2021.02, [URL], Thermal tides, stationary waves, and general circulation are investigated using a T63 Venus general circulation model (GCM) with solar and thermal radiative transfer in the presence of high-resolution surface topography, based on time average analysis. The simulated wind and static stability are very similar to the observed ones (e.g., Horinouchi et al., 2018, Ando et al. 2020). The simulated thermal tides accelerate an equatorial superrotational flow with a speed of ~90 m s−1 around the cloud-heating maximum (~65 km). The zonal-flow acceleration rates of 0.2-0.5 m s−1 Earth day−1 are produced by both horizontal and vertical momentum fluxes at low latitudes. In the GCM simulation, strong solar heating above the cloud top (>69 km) and infrared heating around the cloud bottom (~50 km) modify the vertical structures of thermal tides and their vertical momentum fluxes, which accelerate zonal flow at 103 Pa (~75 km) and 104 Pa (~65 km) at the equator and around 103 Pa at high latitudes.
Below and in the cloud layer, surface topography weakens the zonal-mean zonal flow over the Aphrodite Terra and Maxwell Montes, whereas it enhances the zonal flow in the southern polar region. The high-resolution topography produces stationary fine-scale bow structures at the cloud top and locally modifies the variances in the geographical coordinates (i.e., the activity of unsteady wave components). Over the high mountains, vertical spikes of the vertical wind variance are found, indicating penetrative plumes and gravity waves. Negative momentum flux is also locally enhanced at the cloud top over the equatorial high mountains. In the solar-fixed coordinate system, the variances (i.e., the activity of waves other than thermal tides) of flow are relatively higher on the nightside than on the dayside at the cloud top. Strong dependences of the eddy heat and momentum fluxes on local time are predominant. The local-time variation of the vertical eddy momentum flux is produced by both thermal tides and solar-related, small-scale gravity waves on the nightside..
