RISCharacteristics of Summer Stationary Waves in the Northern Hemisphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Summer stationary waves in the Northern Hemisphere are separated by a midlatitude transition zone into the subtropical monsoon regime with a vertical phase reversal and the subarctic regime with a vertically uniform ...
On the Energy Exchange between the Divergent and Rotational Components of Atmospheric Flow over the Tropics and Subtropics at 200 mb during Two Northern
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The kinetic energy of divergent and rotational flows, and the conversion between these two energy reservoirs, have been computed using the 200 mb fields in the tropics (15°S?20°N) and the subtropics (20?42.5°N)during the ...
The Energy Exchange between the Baroclinic and Barotropic Components of Atmospheric Flow in the Tropics during the FGGE Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The wind fields in the tropics (15°S?15°N) generated by the FGGE IIIb analyses of the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts are used to compute the kinetic energy of baroclinic (vertical shear) and barotropic ...
Global Water Vapor Flux and Maintenance during FGGE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relative humidity, temperature and wind fields generated by the First Global GARP Experiment (FGGE) III-b analysis of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) are used to examine the global precipitable water ...
Maintenance of Summer Monsoon Circulations: A Planetary-Scale Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The monsoon circulation, which is generally considered to be driven by the landmass?ocean thermal contrast, like a gigantic land?sea breeze circulation, exhibits a phase reversal in its vertical structure; a monsoon high ...
Maintenance of the Midtropospheric North African Summer Circulation: Saharan High and African Easterly Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The conspicuous feature of the midtropospheric North African summer circulation is the Saharan high surrounded on its southern rim by the African easterly jet (AEJ). Like a major monsoon circulation, the Saharan high is ...
A Further Study of Spectral Energetics in the Winter Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The contributions of standing (time-mean) and transient (time-departure) waves to the atmospheric spectral energetics are analyzed using the NMC (National Meteorological Center) data of winter 1976?1977. It is found that ...
On the Maintenance of Enstrophy in the Tropics during the FGGE Northern Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The wind fields generated by the ECMWF FGGE III-b analyses at ten mandatory levels were used to examine the tropical enstrophy budget in the spectral domain during the 1979 northern summer (June?August). The seasonal mean ...
30–50 Day Oscillation of 200-mb Temperature and 850-mb Height during the 1979 Northern Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A coherent seesaw fluctuation of 200-mb temperature T(200 mb) and 850-mb height Z(850 mb) between the Tibet-India region and the North Pacific is analyzed with the ECMWF FGGE III-b data for the northern summer (May-September ...
