Abstract: Geostrophic computations in the wave number domain have been made of the ?eddy? kinetic energy, the transfer of kinetic energy between the zonal flow and the eddies, and the internal redistribution of kinetic energy among ...

Abstract: The modulation of the vertical flux of kinetic energy to the stratosphere by the pressure-work effect at 100 mb is compared with variations in the hemispheric kinetic energy, the horizontal momentum and heat transports at ...

Abstract: By means of spectrum analysis of select components of the tropospheric and lower stratospheric energy cycle in the Northern Hemisphere (20N to the pole), we are able to demonstrate the existence of a 14?16 day cycle in the ...

Abstract: The vertical flux of geopotential at 100 mb in the wavenumber domain is examined for the 5-year period January 1964-December 1968. It is deduced that a significant correlation exists between this term and the circulation ...

Abstract: Tropical and extratropical interactions on the intraseasonal time scale are studied in the context of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO). To simplify the discussion, a high (low) MJO phase ...

Abstract: Rocket wind soundings for several stations within 10° latitude of the equator are used to analyze details of the structure of the recently discovered semi-annual wind variation in the equatorial upper stratosphere. The ...

Abstract: In an attempt to separate instrument system ?noise? from actual stratospheric variability, six pairs of meteorological rocketsondes (Datasonde instruments) were launched on 20 June 1969, with five pairs being released at ...

Abstract: Unexpectedly large increases in the density of the stratosphere and mesosphere have been noted previously in association with atmospheric changes at remote altitudes. Modified forms of the hydrostatic equation and the ...
