Abstract: he meridional overturning circulation (MOC) can be considered to consist of a downwelling limb in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) and an upwelling limb in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) that are connected via western boundary ...

Abstract: he Sverdrup relationship when applied to the Southern Ocean suggests that some isopycnals that are deep in the eastern Pacific will shoal in the Atlantic. Cold waters surfacing in the South Atlantic at midlatitudes would ...

Abstract: The quasigeostrophic equations formulated using the Charney?Phillips vertical staggering of variables are well known to possess an analog of the form of conservation of potential vorticity. It is shown that a similar analog ...

Abstract: his study presents an extension of the ground-based velocity track display (GBVTD)-simplex tropical cyclone (TC) circulation center?finding algorithm to further improve the accuracy and consistency of TC center estimates ...

Abstract: Since the late 1960s, the West African Sudan?Sahel zone (10°?18°N) has experienced persistent and often severe drought, which is among the most undisputed and largest regional climate changes in the last half-century. ...

Abstract: Unprecedented observations of Hurricane Isabel (2003) at category 5 intensity were collected from 12 to 14 September. This study presents a detailed analysis of the inner-core structure, atmospheric boundary layer, sea ...

Abstract: AbstractObservations from the Pre-Depression Investigation of Cloud Systems in the Tropics (PREDICT), Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP), and Intensity Forecast Experiment (IFEX) field campaigns are analyzed ...

Abstract: This study revisits the axisymmetric tropical cyclone (TC) theory from D. K. Lilly’s unpublished manuscript (Lilly model) and compares it to axisymmetric TC simulations from a nonhydrostatic cloud model. Analytic solutions ...
