Abstract: For a linearized system such as ??/?t = ??, singular vector analysis can be used to find patterns that give the largest or smallest ratios between the sizes of ?? and ?. Such analyses have applications to a wide range of ...

Abstract: Gross moist stability (GMS), a measure of how efficiently divergent flow exports column-integrated moist static energy (MSE), is a widely used quantity in current simplified models of the tropical mean circulation and ...

Abstract: An approach is presented for the construction of linear response functions of a cumulus ensemble to large-scale temperature and moisture perturbations using a cloud system?resolving model (CSRM). A set of time-invariant, ...

Abstract: ock Walker cells driven by weak sea surface temperature (SST) forcing are studied using planetary-scale cloud system?resolving simulations and a simplified framework that represents convection with its linear response ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the modeling and solution of an optimal direction observation scheme in two‐dimensional triangulation or triangulateration networks under a given precision criterion matrix of the estimated coordinates. ...

Abstract: In general, the purpose of geodetic network optimization is to solve for both a network configuration, i.e., the point location, and an observational plan, i.e., the types of observations together with the precisions of ...

Abstract: A limited-domain cloud system?resolving model (CSRM) is used to simulate the interaction between cumulus convection and two-dimensional linear gravity waves, a single horizontal wavenumber at a time. With a single horizontal ...

Abstract: A simple model of two vertical modes is constructed and analyzed to reveal the basic instability mechanisms of convectively coupled waves. The main novelty of this model is a convective parameterization based on the ...
