Imagine a vast sea, stretching out to encompass the horizon much like a real sea. But unlike such a sea, this sea sits upon a flat plain, and stretches out over 100 million miles in each direction(except for the shore of course). A day begins with a glow spreading from one horizon to eventually encompass the whole sky with an even light. This diminishes after 12 hours, followed by 12 hours of starlit, moonless night. Some things to note for clarity;
- This flat plain that the ocean stretches on has a maximum depth of 10,000 feet, and the atmosphere over this sea extends above the water only 10,000 feet.
- We will say there is a hard barrier at the top of the atmosphere, keeping the air in. Why is beyond the scope of this question.
- Gravity is equal to Earth's gravity at all points under the ocean without variation.
- The daylight radiation is equal to a tropical summer day on earth.
- The light begins on the east horizon, moving across the sea toward the west. Any given point on the ocean will experience a total of 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night.
- There are no landmasses in this sea, be they islands, continents, or subsurface mountain ranges. Only the flat bottom of the ocean.
My question is this; What weather(waves, winds, storms) would form in such an environment.
