Abstract: The Mintz-Arakawa two-level model for planetary atmospheres has been adapted to simulate the atmospheric circulation and climate of Mars. The model uses the primitive equations of atmospheric motion, with heating and cooling ...

Abstract: The rainshafts of about 3000 summer afternoon convective rain cells in the semiarid region of central south Africa were tracked and measured with a volume scanning radar. The area and time integrated rain volume of each ...

Abstract: The circulation of the western North Atlantic is simulated with a primitive equation model that has 5 levels and a horizontal grid size of 37 km. The idealized model domain is a rectangular basin, 3000 km long, 2000 km ...

Abstract: An equation is derived relating the rate of change of the integrated zonal-index to the poleward angular-momentum flux convergence. The validity of the equation and its utility in forecasting the zonal-index change are ...

Abstract: The production, transport and distribution of ozone are simulated for a January with a global atmospheric general circulation model. In this model the ozone influences the radiational heating as well as the photochemical ...

Abstract: A finite difference scheme is developed for numerical integration of the nondivergent barotropic vorticity equation with an icosahedral-hexagonal grid covering the sphere. The grid is made by dividing the 20 triangular ...

Abstract: A three-layer general circulation model, used to simulate the Martian atmosphere, is described and results are presented. The model assumes a dust-free pure C02 atmosphere and allows for a diurnally- varying convective ...
