Variations and Trends in Tropospheric and Stratospheric Global Temperatures, 1958–87
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Examined in this paper are the variations and trends in tropospheric and low-stratospheric temperature for seven climatic zones, hemispheres, and world for intervals 1958?87 and 1973?87, based on 63 well-distributed ...
Relation between 300-mb North Polar Vortex and Equatorial SST, QBO, and Sunspot Number and the Record Contraction of the Vortex in 1988–89
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The size of the 300-mb north circumpolar vortex and quadrants has been estimated between 1963 and 1989 by planimetering the area poleward of contours in the main belt of westerlies on the 300-mb mean-monthly polar-stereographic ...
ON THE USE OF TETROONS FOR THE ESTIMATION OF ATMOSPHERIC DISPERSION ON THE MESOSCALE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric dispersion in the crosswind direction from a continuous point source is estimated as a function of downwind distance through the use of running-mean-velocity variance statistics obtained from radar-tracked ...
A NOTE ON THE MAGNITUDE OF JET-STREAM WINDS EAST OF JAPAN AS DERIVED FROM TRANSOSONDE DATA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comparatively unbiased set of wind statistics at jet-stream level from Japan eastward to the 180th meridian may be obtained from the United States Navy constant level balloon (transosonde) flights launched from Japan in ...
Some Climatological Aspects of the Circulation in Southern Hemisphere Temperate Latitudes as Determined From 200-Millibar GHOST Balloon Flights
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The climatology of the 200-mb flow in Southern Hemisphere temperate latitudes is investigated for a 1-yr period using data obtained from nine global horizontal sounding technique (GHOST) balloon flights in 1966?67. In the ...
An Update through 1985 of the Variations in Global Total Ozone and North Temperate Layer-Mean Ozone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Total-ozone variations in five climatic zones and the world as a whole, as well as ozone variations in tropospheric and stratospheric layers of the north temperate zone, have been updated through 1985 by means of Dobson, ...
Comparison of Variations in Atmospheric Quantities with Sea Surface Temperature Variations in the Equatorial Eastern Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea surface temperature (SST) variations in the equatorial eastern Pacific (0?10°S, 180?90°W) are compared with variations in atmospheric temperature, circulation, rainfall and trace-constituent amount. Significant at the ...
Seasonal Differences in the Trend of Total Ozone and Contributions from Tropospheric and Stratospheric Layers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on an average of the total-ozone changes determined by means of linear regression at individual Dobson stations within climatic zones, trends of total ozone for each of the four seasons have been evaluated for five ...
