Abstract: We consider the dynamics of hydrostatic gravity waves generated by the passage of a steady, stably stratified, moist flow over a two-dimensional topography. Coriolis effects are neglected. The cloud region is determined ...

Abstract: A steady symmetric flow model is used to study the hypothesis that Jupiter's banded structure represents a variable concentration of condensing constituents with latitude. The flow is consistent with the suggestion by ...

Abstract: The mechanism of nonlinear wavenumber selection for single-wave steady states is examined analytically and numerically in an Eady-type model with uneven Ekman dissipation. The spectral solution is truncated to three zonal ...

Abstract: The weakly nonlinear dynamics of quasi-geostrophic Perturbations of various basic states is investigated. The basic states differ slightly from Eady's, i.e., from an inviscid zonal flow of a fluid of uniform Brunt?Väisälä ...

Abstract: A linear, continuous, infinite-depth beta-plane model is used to study the effects of Ekman pumping on the stability of a zonal flow similar to that considered by Charney (1947). The linear, quasi-geostrophic, inviscid ...

Abstract: The propagation of small-amplitude internal gravity waves through a finite layer of varying Brunt-Väisälä frequency is analyzed. A two-scale analysis is used and it is shown that the amount of reflection a wave undergoes ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of the ice edge latitude to the changes in the solar constant is examined in a one-dimensional energy balance equation in which the meridional heat flux divergence is obtained from a weakly nonlinear ...

Abstract: The model presented here extends the Charney model by including Newtonian cooling, Ekman dissipation, and a linear vertical variation of the stratification parameter. By using an integral representation of the solution and ...

Abstract: we use truncated spectral Eady models with two Ekman layers of different strength to investigate the baroclinic flow transitions observed in annulus experiments. Our analysis is both analytical and numerical As the dissipation ...

Abstract: A stochastically forced nonlinear dynamic model for El Niño?Southern Oscillation is advanced to explore the nature of the highly irregular ENSO cycle. The model physics includes nonlinear dynamics of the coupled ocean?atmosphere ...
