Abstract: The effects of the earth and ocean tides on the semi-diurnal lunar tide in the atmosphere have been ignored in nearly all studies of this air tide. Elementary arguments show that these boundary effects are not trivial. ...
On the Simplest Example of the Barotropic Instability of Rossby Wave Motion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The simplest example of possibly unstable Rossby wave motion is reexamined. The necessary and sufficient condition for instability is shown to be that the tendency of the, ? effect to produce different phase speeds for ...

Abstract: Monthly mean 2.5° ? 2.5° resolution 10-m-height wind speeds from the Special Sensor Microwavelimager (SSM/I) instrument and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) forecast-analysis system are compared ...
Signatures of Annual and Seasonal Variations of CO2 and Other Greenhouse Gases from Comparisons between NOAA TOVS Observations and Radiation Model Simulations
