Abstract: rofessor Yanai is remembered in our hearts as an esteemed friend. Based on his accomplishments in tropical meteorology and with his flashes of insight he led his group at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the ...

Abstract: A computationally efficient scheme is described for assimilating sea level measured by altimeters and vertical profiles of temperature and salinity measured by Argo floats. The scheme is based on a transformation of ...

Abstract: Monthly mean reanalysis data and numerical experiments based on a climate model are employed to investigate the relative impacts of different types of diabatic heating and their synthetic effects on the formation of the ...

Abstract: Anomalous warming occurred over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) before and during the disastrous freezing rain and heavy snow hitting central and southern China in January 2008. The relationship between the TP warming and this ...

Abstract: Assimilated analysis fields from the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment and the outgoing longwave radiation data from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have been employed to describe the large-scale and ...

Abstract: ibetan Plateau (TP) vortices and the related 10?30-day intraseasonal oscillation in May?September 1998 are analyzed using the twice-daily 500-hPa synoptic weather maps, multiple reanalysis datasets, and satellite-retrieved ...
