Abstract: Large scale numerical analyses of divergence and the divergent component of wind are examined at two levels in the lower and upper troposphere. The synoptic sequence studied includes the onset of the Southern Hemisphere ...

Abstract: An atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM), a simplified atmospheric model (SAM) of surface heat flux, and various idealized analytic models have been used to investigate the atmospheric response over the North Atlantic ...

Abstract: An updated evaluation of the surface radiation budget in climate models (1994?96 versions; seven datasets available, with and without aerosols) and in two new satellite-based global datasets (with aerosols) is presented. ...

Abstract: A case study is presented of the onset of the Southern Hemisphere summer monsoon at longitudes near Australia during December 1978. The numerical analyses comprising this case study are used in conjunction with station ...
