Observations of Martian Tides Over Two Annual Cycles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The first four diurnal surface pressure harmonics have been analysed over major portions of two Martian annual cycles (Mars years) at the two Viking lander sites. The diurnal harmonies of surface wind have also been analysed ...
Marine Low-Cloud Anomalies Associated with ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As a contribution to understanding the possible impact of altered climate regimes on marine clouds, and hence on cloud radiative forcing, ship-observed marine low clouds and precipitation frequency for individual seasons ...
Estimation of the Kelvin Wave Contribution to the Semiannual oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The behavior of Kelvin waves in the equatorial middle atmosphere is investigated with the use of daily mapped temperature derived from the Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere (LIMS) experiment. Diagrams of wave ...
A Numerical Model of Nonmigrating Diurnal Tides between the Surface and 65 km
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of surface pressure and middle atmosphere temperatures and winds indicate that a substantial nonmigrating component is present in the diurnal tide. The nonmigrating tides, which propagate with a zonal phase ...
interannual Variability in Stratiform Cloudiness and Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Marine stratiform cloudiness (MSC) (stratus, stratocumulus, and fog) is widespread over subtropical oceans west of the continents and over midlatitude oceans during summer, the season when MSC has maximum influence on ...
Mariner Observations of the Mars North Polar Hood
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mariner 9 photographs showing variations in the behavior of the Mars atmosphere over 21 consecutive days during northern winter are displayed. The photographs show the north polar cloud hood to be highly variable from day ...
Are There Real Interdecadal Variations in Marine Low Clouds?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dominant interdecadal signal in normalized frequency of occurrence of cumulonimbus reported by volunteer observing ships is globally uniform over the period 1952?92 over all ocean areas between 40°S and 50°N. Globally ...
Diurnal Tide in the Equatorial Middle Atmosphere as Seen in LIMS Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The distribution of day-night temperature differences in the middle atmosphere determined by the Nimbus 7 LIMS experiment is described. Day-night differences maximize at and are approximately symmetric about the equator. ...
