Abstract: A generalized model of the effect of an optically thin atmospheric aerosol on the terrestrial heat budget is proposed, and applied to the problem of estimating the impact of the aerosol on temperatures near the earth's ...

Abstract: A general survey is made of the feasibility of using trends in long-period temperature records as representations of climatic change. A breakdown of all probable significant sources of influence on such records, together ...

Abstract: The remarkably high frequency of strong surface winds in the region of Big Delta, Alaska, is studied with respect to its cause, characteristics, and local effects. During the winter, the winds are predominantly east-southeast ...

Abstract: A numerical investigation of near-field brine discharge dynamics is reported for the Gold Coast Desalination Plant offshore inclined multiport brine diffuser. Quasi-steady computational fluid dynamics simulations were ...

Abstract: Methods are presented for generating an ensemble of synthetic atmospheric trajectories. These include methods for a set of independent trajectories, and methods for a correlated set of sequential trajectories. The models ...

Abstract: Changes in cloud distribution may provide a major feedback on climate change. General circulation model simulations show an upward shift of high cloud and a general reduction of free-tropospheric cloud when climate warms. ...

Abstract: There is increasing evidence that the response of climate to increasing greenhouse gases may be modified by accompanying increases in sulfate aerosols. In this study, the patterns of response in the surface climatology of ...

Abstract: A simulation of the climate for 6 kyr BP, using the Hadley Centre's atmospheric GCM with prescribed SSTs is described. The control simulation successfully reproduces the large-scale features of the present-day climate and ...

Abstract: The importance of the representation of cloud in a general circulation model is investigated by utilizing four different parameterization schemes for layer cloud in a low-resolution version of the general circulation model ...
