A MERIDIONAL ATMOSPHERIC CROSS SECTION FOR AN OCEANIC REGION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiosonde data have been used to construct atmospheric cross sections along meridian 170°E for the winter and summer months. This southern-hemisphere section is briefly compared with northern-hemisphere data and some new ...
WATER-VAPOR TRANSFER OVER THE AUSTRALIAN CONTINENT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For the calendar year 1956, daily observations of wind and humidity at eight atmospheric levels extending from the earth's surface up to the 400-mb level are used to compute average annual and seasonal vertically integrated ...
TURBULENCE THEORY APPLIED TO LARGE-SCALE ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An outline is given of a preliminary attempt to apply the methods which have proved serviceable in the treatment of small-scale turbulence to the wider problem of large-scale turbulence in the atmosphere. In particular, ...
Wind Stress Measurements from the Open Ocean Corrected for Airflow Distortion by the Ship
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large dataset of wind stress estimates, covering a wide range of wind speed and stability conditions, was obtained during three cruises of the RRS Discovery in the Southern Ocean. These data were used by Yelland and ...
Toward Quantifying the Increasing Role of Oceanic Heat in Sea Ice Loss in the New Arctic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he loss of Arctic sea ice has emerged as a leading signal of global warming. This, together with acknowledged impacts on other components of the Earth system, has led to the term ?the new Arctic.? Global coupled climate ...
