RISThe Behavior of Wave 2 in the Southern Hemisphere Stratosphere during Late Winter and Early Spring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A detailed analysis is presented of the behavior of the zonal wavenumber 2 component of the flow (wave 2) for July through October in the Southern Hemisphere stratosphere. Wave 2 in the stratosphere is characterized by a ...
Simulations of the February 1979 Stratospheric Sudden Warming: Model Comparisons and Three-Dimensional Evolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution of the stratospheric flow during the major stratospheric sudden warming of February 1979 is studied using two primitive equation models of the stratosphere and mesosphere. The United Kingdom Meteorological ...
Planetary-Scale Waves in the Southern Hemisphere Winter and Early Spring Stratosphere: Stability Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eastward-traveling waves 2 and 3 are frequently observed to grow in the Southern Hemisphere stratosphere during late winter and early spring. Observations show times when wave 2 growth appears to be confined to the ...
The GCM–Reality Intercomparison Project for SPARC (GRIPS): Scientific Issues and Initial Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To investigate the effects of the middle atmosphere on climate, the World Climate Research Programme is supporting the project "Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate" (SPARC). A central theme of SPARC, to examine ...
