Abstract: A quasi-Lagrangian advective scheme for numerical integration of primitive equations is proposed. The advective scheme is built on a successive approximation procedure where the Fj?rtoft-type of quasi-Lagrangian advection ...

Abstract: In the past most diagnostic studies of frontal cyclone development have been carried out through use of quasi-geostrophic models. In this paper we present the results of vertical motions obtained from a 5-level general ...

Abstract: Conventional and commerical aircraft wind observations over the global tropics have been used to prepare daily charts of the field of motion at the 200-mb level for June, July and August 1967. Computations describe the ...

Abstract: An arbitrary isobaric surface and the level of non-divergence constitute the two levels of the proposed model. The vorticity equation consistent with the quasi-geostrophic assumptions is applied at two levels. The thermodynamic ...

Abstract: The equation for steady two-dimensional mountain waves is expressed in the isentropic coordinates. An elliptic equation for the finite amplitude vertical motion field is solved by a numerical marching scheme in atmospheres ...

Abstract: Daily upper-wind analysis at 200 mb was carried out between the equator and 45N, around the globe, for December 1955 to February 1956 to map the subtropical jet stream. It turned out that this current formed a pattern of ...

Abstract: Calculations of budgets of heat, angular momentum and kinetic energy for the tropical latitudes are obtained in a coordinate system following the subtropical jet stream axis at the 200-mb surface. Comparisons of the fluxes ...

Abstract: This paper outlines a theory for a diagnostic balance model. A unique manner of partitioning baroclinic vertical motions into various forcing mechanisms is proposed as a natural extension of the quasi-geostrophic problem. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a short summary of the Summer Monsoon Experiment (MONEX). The review is largely based on those papers that have made use of the summer MONEX observations during 1979. 0bservational aspects of this study ...
