An Essay on Climate Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Following a general survey of the evidence for climatic variation, the dynamical basis of climate and the modeling of climatic change are briefly reviewed. The ability of general circulation models and of climate models ...
AMIP: The Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) is an international effort to determine the systematic climate errors of atmospheric models under realistic conditions, and calls for the simulation of the climate of ...
METHOD OF NUMERICAL FORECASTING BY JUXTAPOSITION OF ONE-DIMENSIONAL SOLUTIONS, AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE EQUIVALENT BAROTROPIC MODEL
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By juxtaposition of a series of one-dimensional solutions at adjacent latitudes, numerical forecasts may easily and inexpensively be incorporated into forecasting routine. Forecasts for 140 degrees of longitude, for the ...
A Numerical Study of Transient Rossby Waves in a Wind-Driven Homogeneous Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The primitive hydrostatic equations for a rectangular homogeneous ocean with a free surface on a ?-plane are integrated numerically for 60 days from an initial state of rest and undisturbed depth of 400 m. A zonal wind ...
ON THE TRUNCATION ERROR, STABILITY, AND CONVERGENCE OF DIFFERENCE SOLUTIONS OF THE BAROTROPIC VORTICITY EQUATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The truncation error, stability and convergence properties of various finite-difference formulations of the one-dimensional barotropic vorticity equation are considered, and analytic solutions of the difference equations ...
The January Global Climate Simulated by a Two-Level General Circulation Model: A Comparison with Observation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mean global distributions of pressure, temperature, wind, moisture, cloudiness, precipitation, evaporation, and surface heat balance simulated for January by the two-level Mintz-Arakawa atmospheric general circulation ...
Analysis of the Mean Forcing Fields Simulated By the Two-level, Mintz-Arakawa Atmospheric Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The global distributions of the mean January surface wind stress, the net diabatic heating rate, and the net rate of moisture addition as simulated in a 30-day integration with the two-level, Mintz-Arakawa atmospheric ...
STATIC STABILITY MEASURES IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Various measures of static stability in the atmosphere are reviewed and their uses briefly discussed. The mean vertical distribution of nine stability measures is given for 100-mb tropospheric layers and for selected ...
