Abstract: The effects of wave and zonal mean ozone heating on the evolution of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) are examined using a two-dimensional mechanistic model of the equatorial stratosphere. The model atmosphere is ...

Abstract: he optimal ranking regime (ORR) method was used to identify intradecadal to multidecadal (IMD) time windows containing significant ranking sequences in U.S. climate division temperature data. The simplicity of the ORR ...

Abstract: n Part I of this paper, the optimal ranking regime (ORR) method was used to identify intradecadal to multidecadal (IMD) regimes in U.S. climate division temperature data during 1896?2012. Here, the method is used to test ...

Abstract: n analysis method previously used to detect observed intra- to multidecadal (IMD) climate regimes was adapted to compare observed and modeled IMD climate variations. Pending the availability of the more appropriate phase ...

Abstract: Global warming has become one of the most important scientific, political, and social issues of our era. In designing an effective mitigation strategy, it is clear that public education must play an important role. This ...

Abstract: n equatorial ?-plane model of the tropical stratosphere is used to examine the effects of ozone on Kelvin, Rossby?gravity, equatorial Rossby, inertia?gravity, and smaller-scale gravity waves. The model is composed of coupled ...
