The Brewer–Dobson Circulation: Dynamics of the Tropical Upwelling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent advances in our understanding of the dynamics of the stratospheric circulation have led to the concepts of ?downward control? and the ?extratropical pump.? However, under the assumptions on which these concepts are ...
WRF Simulations of the Urban Circulation in the Salt Lake City Area for CO2 Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: recent National Research Council report highlighted the potential utility of atmospheric observations and models for detecting trends in concentrated emissions from localized regions, such as urban areas. The Salt Lake ...
Sensitivity of Age-of-Air Calculations to the Choice of Advection Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The age of air has recently emerged as a diagnostic of atmospheric transport unaffected by chemical parameterizations, and the features in the age distributions computed in models have been interpreted in terms of the ...
Evaluation of Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Models with Measurements from Controlled Tracer Releases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hree widely used Lagrangian particle dispersion models (LPDMs)?the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT), Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian Transport (STILT), and Flexible Particle (FLEXPART) ...
Sensitivity of the Residual Circulation Diagnosed from the UARS Data to the Uncertainties in the Input Fields and to the Inclusion of Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The simultaneous measurements of temperature, aerosol extinction, and concentrations of radiatively active gases by several instruments aboard the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite permit an assessment of the uncertainties ...
Residual Circulation in the Stratosphere and Lower Mesosphere as Diagnosed from Microwave Limb Sounder Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results for the residual circulation in the stratosphere and lower mesosphere between September 1991 and August 1994 are reported. This circulation is diagnosed by applying an accurate radiative transfer code to temperature, ...
