RISSOME OBSERVATIONS OF THE BEHAVIOR OF SPHERICAL HARMONIC WAVES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One month of daily spherical harmonic expansions of 500-mb. height in the Northern Hemisphere were studied. The movements of the waves are compared with the Rossby-Haurwitz wave speeds computed from the zonal geostrophic ...
Analysis of Nimbus 3 SIRS Radiance Data: Traveling Planetary-Scale Waves in the Stratospheric Temperature Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Zonal harmonics of the radiances measured by the three central channels of the SIRS instrument on Nimbus 3, representing vertically averaged temperatures in the lower and middle stratosphere, were computed. The traveling ...
A STATISTICAL STUDY OF THE VERTICAL STRUCTURE OF TRAVELING PLANETARY-SCALE WAVES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical structure of traveling planetary-scale waves is investigated using spherical harmonics of the geopotential field at levels from 1000 mb. to 10 mb., obtained from ESSA analyses. Fluctuations of the large-scale ...
ON THE MOVEMENT AND PREDICTION OF TRAVELING PLANETARY-SCALE WAVES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fluctuations of the planetary-scale waves, represented by spherical harmonics of the 500-mb. geopotential field, are statistically analyzed. A study is made of the prediction of these fluctuations from previous changes and ...
