Abstract: A procedure is proposed to expand the diagnostic capabilities of the pressure tendency equation of a primitive equation NWP model by computing the pressure tendency in physical coordinates. The advantage of isolating the ...

Abstract: Q-vector partitioning has proven to be a useful tool for the understanding of the frictionless, adiabatic processes responsible for the generation of synoptic-scale vertical motion in the extratropical atmosphere. Partitioning ...

Abstract: The ocean surface wind mediates exchanges between the ocean and the atmosphere. These air?sea exchange processes are critical for understanding and predicting atmosphere, ocean, and wave phenomena on many time and space ...
