Abstract: A steady-state, linear, quasi-geostrophic model of stationary waves on a sphere is employed to study the lower boundary forcing of airflow over topography and the internal forcing that results from the geographical ...

Abstract: The effects of the zonal mean circulation and planetary-wave winds on the distribution of nitric oxide in the 55?120 km height region is investigated. A time-dependent numerical model is used to investigate the interaction ...

Abstract: The behavior of precipitation is of great importance in obtaining a better understanding of heat transport estimates and global processes in the atmosphere. This paper discusses improvements in an earlier raindrop size ...

Abstract: Measurements of the turbulent virtual heat flux in the convective atmospheric boundary layer made with a 915-MHz boundary-layer wind profiler-radio acoustic sounding system (RASS) are compared to flux measurements from a ...

Abstract: Satellite-radiance data (Nimbus 5, 6; ≤80 km) and the MSIS-83 model have been used to prepare global zonal-mean gradient winds (30?120 km) for the new CIRA-1986. Here these are supplemented by planetary-wave morphology ...
