Abstract: An initial-value problem for both the shallowing and deepening of the upper mixed layer of the ocean is presented, including storage and background dissipation of the turbulent kinetic energy produced by wind and released ...

Abstract: The Kraus-Turner one-dimensional diagnostic model for calculating oceanic mixed layer depths gives realistic results for the summer North Pacific provided the effect of dissipation is appropriately included to limit mixed ...

Abstract: The horizontal structure of the balances of kinetic energy and total energy simulated by the Oregon State University (OSU) two-level atmospheric general circulation model are studied for January and July on the basis of a ...

Abstract: The goal of the present study is to elucidate and assess the observed closure and annual variations of the water cycles for the Asian continent and its constituent climatic regions. For this purpose, heavy reliance is ...

Abstract: A parameterization scheme of gravity wave drag induced by cumulus convection (GWDC) is implemented in the Yonsei University atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) and the effects of GWDC on the zonal-mean flow and ...

Abstract: Improving the simulation of regional climate change is one of the high-priority areas of climate study because regional information is needed for climate change impact assessments. Such information is especially important ...
