Abstract: The effect on large scale motions of latent heat release by deep cumulus convection in a conditionally unstable atmosphere is investigated and a method devised to include this effect directly in the equations for large ...

Abstract: On including a frictional drag proportional and opposite to the velocity of a rotating cylinder or vortex placed in a shearing current, it is found that the combined influence of the drag and the rotor force resulting from ...

Abstract: The stability properties and the vertical variations of the amplitudes and phase angles of disturbances in a baroclinic zonal current are discussed, by use of approximate solutions. It is found that, when friction is ...

Abstract: The symmetrical thermal convection of a rotating fluid subject to a horizontal temperature difference is examined. It is shown that the effect of rotation is to inhibit the convection. The extent of this inhibition depends ...

Abstract: The thermal interaction between the atmosphere and the underlying earth, as related to the diurnal heat wave, is investigated through the use of a modified virtual conduction model in which the influences of turbulence and ...

Abstract: By making use of the quasi-nondivergent approximation, the potential vorticity equation is reduced to an equation in the stream function ?. Assuming that the motion is of permanent wave type, a first integral of this ...

Abstract: The formation of the intertropical convergence zone is attributed to the self-excitation of a large-scale, zonally symmetric disturbance in the conditionally unstable and convectively activated tropical atmosphere, and the ...

Abstract: The parameterization scheme devised by the author in a previous study has been extended to include both deep cumulus convection and shallow convection and a more rigorous derivation is given. In this scheme, the amounts ...

Abstract: A new model is constructed for the explanation of the several types of large-scale wave motions detected in the tropical troposphere and lower stratosphere through observational investigations. The model also attributes ...
