Abstract: A theory is presented for the spectra of horizontal velocity and temperature at high wavenumbers in three-dimensional quasi-geostrophic flow. The theory predicts a minus third power dependence on both the horizontal and ...

Abstract: Why do cyclones form in a conditionally unstable tropical atmosphere whose vertical thermal structure is apparently more favorable to small-scale cumulus convection than to convective circulations of tropical cyclone scale? ...

Abstract: The properties of wind-driven equatorial currents in homogeneous oceans are investigated for variable wind stresses and variable eddy viscosities. In the case of a uniform westward stress, the calculated cross-stream and ...

Abstract: A two-layer baroclinic model is used to study the planetary-scale motions of a thermally driven atmosphere in the presence of topography, and in doing so to extend previous results obtained with a barotropic model. Highly ...

Abstract: A barotropic channel model is used to study the planetary-scale motions of an atmosphere whose zonal flow is externally driven. Perturbations are induced by topography and by d barotropic analogue of thermal driving. The ...
