Abstract: An analysis of mean-monthly temperature and total ozone data suggests that quasi-biennial oscillations extend to the temperate and polar latitudes of both hemispheres. Basically, there is symmetry with respect to the ...

Abstract: Total-ozone variations have been updated through 1981 for four regions in north temperate latitudes, the five climatic zones, both hemispheres, and the world. Also updated through 1981 are ozone values in height layers ...

Abstract: The relation between sea-surface temperature (SST) in the eastern equatorial Pacific (0°?10°S, 180°?;80°W), and surface pressure, latitude and longitude of the four centers of action (Icelandic and Aleutian Lows, Atlantic ...

Abstract: Based upon 78 months of mean-monthly zonal-wind and temperature data, the phase angle and amplitude of the third (26-month) harmonic is determined as a function of latitude and height for stations within or bordering the ...

Abstract: In equatorial latitudes, during the past decade, a pronounced oscillation in the zonal wind of approximately 26-month period has been noted at pressure surfaces of 25 and 50 mb. The oscillation decreases in amplitude ...

Abstract: During the years 1899?1967, in temperate latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, there has been a significant quasi-periodic fluctuation (hereafter denoted as periodicity) of about 16 yr. in the even minus odd (even?odd) ...

Abstract: The Brewer-Dobson hypothesis that the stratospheric water vapor amount in temperate latitudes is governed by the water vapor removal capability (temperature) of the tropical tropopause is reexamined using the 11 years of ...

Abstract: The time variation in size and location of the 300 mb north circumpolar vortex has been estimated from mean monthly polar stereographic maps for the years 1963?75, both by planimetering the area north of height contours ...

Abstract: Based on linear regression, during 1950?85 the year-average, United States cloudiness (defined here as an average of cloud amount and sunshine duration) increased by a significant 0.8% per decade, with the increase greatest ...

Abstract: The number and location of stagnation days within the eastern United States, as estimated mainly from a surface geostrophic-wind criterion, is presented by month and for the year 1981 as a whole. In 1981, the number of ...
