Abstract: Some consequences of applying the boundary condition dp/dt=0 at p=0 in a linearized middle-latitude ?-plane model of forced stationary planetary waves are investigated. The perturbations, which are assumed to be quasi-geostrophic ...

Abstract: Using an atmospheric global spectral model, it is shown that the winter atmosphere in the midlatitudes is capable of reacting to prescribed sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the northwest Atlantic with two very ...
