Abstract: Symmetry considerations indicate that in steady-state conditions, and in the absence of a sea current, a horizontal interface must move in the direction of the surface geostrophic wind. With currents present, the interface ...

Abstract: Analysis of nine weathership records indicates that maritime precipitation is significantly more frequent at night. The effect varies with season and latitude. The diurnal variation is related to the absorption of solar ...

Abstract: A field program to study the marine planetary boundary layer was carried out jointly by scientists and students from the Universities of British Columbia, Hamburg and Miami and by personnel from the NOAA Sea-Air Interaction ...

Abstract: The spatial coherence of subtropical rainfall anomalies is documented by variance analysis. Major droughts repeatedly were felt at the same time around the globe along the arid margins of the tropical rainfall belt. The ...

Abstract: A simple analytical model relates the seasonal excursion of the Intertropical Convergence Zone to seasonal changes in hemispheric forcing. The maximum value of the excursion increases with the seasonal heating change; it ...

Abstract: Experiments with six different heating fields in a numerical general circulation model are described. Three different vertical heating gradients are each used once with and once without variations on the continental-oceanic ...
