Abstract: quatorial planetary waves are a fundamental component of the tropical climate system. Previous studies have examined their structure in the climatological-mean circulation, their role in the climatological-mean momentum ...

Abstract: emperatures in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) play an important role in stratosphere?troposphere exchange and in the formation and maintenance of thin cirrus clouds. Many previous studies have examined the contributions ...

Abstract: his study quantifies cloud?radiative anomalies associated with interannual variability in the latitude of the Southern Hemisphere (SH) midlatitude eddy-driven jet, in 20 global climate models from phase 5 of the Coupled ...

Abstract: ABSTRACTClouds and their associated radiative effects are a large source of uncertainty in global climate models. One region with particularly large model biases in shortwave cloud radiative effects (CRE) is the Southern ...

Abstract: Climate change in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) polar stratosphere is associated with substantial changes in the atmospheric circulation that extend to the earth?s surface. The mechanisms that drive the changes in the SH ...

Abstract: Static stability is a fundamental dynamical quantity that measures the vertical temperature stratification of the atmosphere. However, the magnitude and structure of finescale features in this field are difficult to discern ...

Abstract: xtratropical cyclones play a principal role in wintertime precipitation and severe weather over North America. On average, the greatest number of cyclones track 1) from the lee of the Rocky Mountains eastward across the ...
