In particular, the surface ocean layer is expected to deepen when the wind's frequency matches the inertial (Coriolis) frequency, through "Ekman layer resonance". Here, we report on laboratory experiments conducted in the large circular rotating tank of the LEGI Coriolis platform (13 m in diameter and 0.5 m in depth) to investigate the effect of oscillating horizontal shear imposed at the water surface. The analysis of the flow structure by means of particle image velocimetry (PIV) reveals a resonant thickening of the top Ekman layer and a marked increase in the kinetic energy of the flow occurs when the forcing frequency coincides with the Coriolis frequency of the rotating tank. The findings are in agreement with the theoretical expectations and constitute evidence for the existence of the Ekman layer resonance (or near inertial resonance) phenomenon in an ocean-like configuration.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{VinczeHarlanderLarcheretal., author = {Vincze, Miklos and Harlander, Uwe and Larcher, Thomas von and Egbers, Christoph}, title = {An experimental study of baroclinic wave transitions in a differentially heated rotating annulus with sloping bottom topography}, series = {European Turbulence Conference 14 (ETC), 1-4 September 2013, ENS Lyon, France}, booktitle = {European Turbulence Conference 14 (ETC), 1-4 September 2013, ENS Lyon, France}, pages = {2}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{VinczeHarlanderEgbers, author = {Vincze, Miklos and Harlander, Uwe and Egbers, Christoph}, title = {An experimental study on the co-existence of topographic waves and baroclinic instability in a differentially heated rotating annulus}, series = {18.

For many years scientists try to understand these flows by doing laboratory experiments. In the present paper we discuss two rather new laboratory experiments designed to study certain aspects of the atmospheric circulation. One of the experiments, the differentially heated rotating annulus at the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) Cottbus, has a cooled inner cylinder and a heated outer wall. However, the structure of the atmospheric meridional circulation motivates a variation of this "classical" design. In the second experiment described, operational at the Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics (ICMM) in Perm, heating and cooling is performed at different vertical levels that resembles more the atmospheric situation. Recent results of both experiments are presented and discussed. Differences and consistencies are highlighted. Though many issues are still open we conclude that both setups have their merits. The variation with heating and cooling at different levels might be more suited to study processes in the transition zone between pure rotating convection and the zone of westerly winds. On the other hand, the simpler boundary conditions of the BTU experiment make this experiment easier to control.}, language = {en} } @misc{HarlanderBorciaVinczeetal., author = {Harlander, Uwe and Borcia, Ion-Dan and Vincze, Miklos and Rodda, Costanza}, title = {Probability Distribution of Extreme Events in a Baroclinic Wave Laboratory Experiment}, series = {Fluids}, volume = {7}, journal = {Fluids}, number = {8}, issn = {2311-5521}, doi = {10.3390/fluids7080274}, abstract = {Atmospheric westerly jet streams are driven by temperature differences between low and high latitudes and the rotation of the Earth. Meandering jet streams and propagating Rossby waves are responsible for the variable weather in the mid-latitudes. Moreover, extreme weather events such as heat waves and cold spells are part of the jet stream dynamics. For many years, a simple analog in the form of a simplified laboratory experiment, the differentially heated rotating annulus, has provided insight into the dynamics of the meandering jet stream. In the present study, probability density distributions of extreme events from a long-term laboratory experiment are studied and compared to the atmospheric probability density distributions. Empirical distributions of extreme value monthly block data are derived for the experimental and atmospheric cases. Generalized extreme value distributions are adjusted to the empirical distributions, and the distribution parameters are compared. Good agreement was found, but the distributions of the experimental data showed a shift toward larger extreme values, and some explanations for this shift are suggested. The results indicate that the laboratory model might be a useful tool for investigating changes in extreme event distributions due to climate change. In the laboratory context, the change can be modeled by an increase in total temperature accompanied by a reduction in the radial heat contrast.}, language = {en} } @misc{VinczeHarlanderLarcheretal., author = {Vincze, Miklos and Harlander, Uwe and Larcher, Thomas von and Egbers, Christoph}, title = {An experimental study of regime transitions in a differentially heated baroclinic annulus with flat and sloping bottom topographies}, series = {Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics}, volume = {21}, journal = {Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics}, number = {1}, issn = {1607-7946}, doi = {10.5194/npg-21-237-2014}, pages = {237 -- 250}, language = {en} }
