Abstract: Eady's model of baroclinic instability is extended by allowing the basic velocity profile to vary slowly in the meridional direction. The eigenfunctions are found by simple use of the WKB technique, and the meridional scale ...

Abstract: Further results are presented using Eady's model of baroclinic instability with a zonal flow varying slowly in the meridional direction. Now, however, the basic flow is more in keeping with observations and this means the ...

Abstract: Several sets of model equations are presented which represent coupled processes in the tropical atmosphere and ocean. The distribution of ocean surface temperature generates large-scale convective motions in the atmosphere. ...

Abstract: Two significant changes in ocean heat uptake that occur in the vicinity of sea ice cover in response to increasing CO2 are investigated with Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3): a deep warming below ?500 m and ...

Abstract: quilibrium climate sensitivity of the Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4) is 3.20°C for 1° horizontal resolution in each component. This is about a half degree Celsius higher than in the previous version ...

Abstract: nity Earth System Model (CESM) is a flexible and extensible community tool used to investigate a diverse set of Earth system interactions across multiple time and space scales. This global coupled model significantly extends ...

Abstract: The seasonal cycle over the tropical Pacific simulated by 11 coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation models (GCMs) is examined. Each model consists of a high-resolution ocean GCM of either the tropical Pacific or ...
