Exact and Approximate Solutions for Multiple Scattering by Cloudy and Hazy Planetary Atmospheres
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solutions are obtained for the problem of multiple scattering by a plane parallel atmosphere with anisotropic phase functions typical of cloud and haze particles. The resulting albedos, angular distributions of intensities, ...
High Range Resolution Radar Measurements of the Speed Distribution of Breaking Events in Wind-Generated Ocean Waves: Surface Impulse and Wave Energy Dissipation Rates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A set of X-band radar measurements, backscattered from the sea surface at near grazing incidence with very high spatial and temporal resolution (30 cm in range and 2000-Hz pulse repetition frequency) in moderate wind ...
Efficient Three-Dimensional Global Models for Climate Studies: Models I and II
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global atmospheric model is developed with a computational efficiency which allows long-range climate experiments. The model solves the simultaneous equations for conservation of mass, energy and momentum, and the equation ...
The GISS Model of the Global Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model description and numerical results are presented for a global atmospheric circulation model developed at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). The model version described is a 9-level primitive-equation ...
