Abstract: Surface observations of the lunar semidiurnal tidal oscillations in geopotential height (at equator: amplitude ≈65 cm, phase lag ≈3O min), temperature (at Batavia: amplitude ≈0.008 K, phase lag ≈46 min), and wind (at ...

Abstract: The growth of waves and the generation of potential energy in wave-CISK require unstable waves to tilt with height oppositely to their direction of propagation. This makes the structures and instability properties of these ...

Abstract: An idealized zonally asymmetric mean state in the Tropics is used to investigate the effects of atmospheric mean Walker circulations and sea surface temperatures on the zonal variability of tropical waves with positive- ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of vertical shear of the mean zonal flow on CISK waves in a spherical geometry. A linearized primitive equation model, including mean zonal flow, on a sphere is designed to generalize ...

Abstract: Several idealized models of tropical upwelling are presented in order to clarify the roles of the nonlinear Hadley circulation and extratropical wave driving. In particular, it is shown that the Hadley circulation and ...

Abstract: Observations and model results indicate that the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) modulation of stratospheric water vapor results from two causes. Dynamical redistribution of water vapor from the QBO-induced mean meridional ...

Abstract: The possibility of planetary wave coupling between the troposphere and solar-induced alterations in the upper atmosphere providing a viable mechanism for giving rise to sun-weather relationships is investigated. Some of ...

Abstract: When a global atmospheric basic state has constant angular velocity and its temperature varies with attitude only, there exist normal mode solutions to the linearized global primitive equations. The use of these normal ...
