Error Growth in a Whole Atmosphere Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It has been well established that the atmosphere is chaotic by nature and thus has a finite limit of predictability. The chaotic divergence of initial conditions and the predictability are explored here in the context of ...
Large-Scale Rossby Normal Modes during Some Recent Northern Hemisphere Winters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: arge-scale Rossby normal modes are studied for the Northern Hemisphere winters of 2005, 2006, 2008, and 2009 using global observational meteorological analyses spanning the 0?92-km altitude range. Spectral analysis of ...
Tracer Transport by the Diabatic Circulation Deduced from Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mean meridional circulations for the months of November through May 1979 are deduced from the net radiative heating rates obtained from detailed calculations based on satellite observations of temperature and radiatively ...
The Role of the Middle Atmosphere in Simulations of the Troposphere during Northern Hemisphere Winter: Differences between High- and Low-Top Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper compares present-day simulations made with two state-of-the-art climate models: a conventional model specifically designed to represent the tropospheric climate, which has a poorly resolved middle atmosphere, ...
Dynamical Mechanism for the Increase in Tropical Upwelling in the Lowermost Tropical Stratosphere during Warm ENSO Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Brewer?Dobson circulation strengthens in the lowermost tropical stratosphere during warm El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. Dynamical analyses using the most recent version of the Whole Atmosphere Community ...
Applications of Multigrid Software in the Atmospheric Sciences
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Elliptic partial differential equations from different areas in the atmospheric sciences are easily and efficiently solved using the multigrid software package mudpack. It is shown that the multigrid method is more efficient ...
Improvement of UNS S32205 Duplex Welds by GMAW and Controlled Magnetic Field for Offshore Pipelines and Flowlines Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of UNS S32205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) welds obtained under the application of controlled magnetic fields were evaluated in the context of offshore pipelines and flowlines ...
A Chronology of El Niño Events from Primary Documentary Sources in Northern Peru
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors present a chronology of El Niño (EN) events based on documentary records from northern Peru. The chronology, which covers the period 1550?1900, is constructed mainly from primary sources from the city of Trujillo ...
Photochemistry and Transport of Carbon Monoxide in the Middle Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two-dimensional model calculations of the photochemistry and transport of carbon monoxide in the stratosphere, mesosphere, and lower thermosphere are presented. Results are compared to available observations at midlatitudes, ...
Application of Magnetic Fields to Weld Overlay Cladding to Improve Its Performance in the Oil and Gas Industry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There are increasingly more aggressive hydrocarbons, as they have high contents of hydrogen sulfide/carbon dioxide, under conditions of high pressure/high temperature. For driving these aggressive hydrocarbons, one of the ...
