Abstract: A global barotropic model, linearized about the 300 mb climatological mean January flow, is perturbed by applying a series of localized forcings distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics. Structures which resemble ...

Abstract: A long time series of data simulated by the NCAR Community Climate Model is used to empirically determine the effects of imperfect spatial and temporal sampling on estimates of the model's global-mean surface air temperature. ...
