Abstract: Anomally models based on a spectral general circulation model (GCM) are formulated and applied to study of low-frequency atmospheric variability in the extratropics, and long-range forecasting research. A steady linear ...

Abstract: The effect of an artificial lateral boundary (the wall) at the Equator on a simulated atmospheric circulation was studied numerically. By comparing the solutions of two 30-day integrations of a global model with and without ...

Abstract: Assuming that SST provides the major lower boundary forcing for the atmosphere, observed SSTs are prescribed for an ensemble of atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) simulations. The ensemble consists of 9 ?decadal? ...

Abstract: The capability of blocking prediction is investigated with respect to four models of different subgrid scale parameterization packages, which were described in Part I. In order to assess the capability, blocking indices ...

Abstract: Four packages of subgrid scale (SGS) physics parameterization are tested by including them in a general circulation model and by applying the four models to 1-month forecasts. The four models are formulated by accumulatively ...

Abstract: Tests of several interface conditions in a one-way nested grid model were undertaken, where the ratio of grid size for the coarse mesh in the large domain and the fine mesh in the small domain was 4:1. The interface values ...

Abstract: A general circulation model (GCM) of the ocean that emphasizes the simulation of the upper ocean has been developed. This emphasis is in keeping with its future intent, that of an air-sea coupled model. The basic model is ...

Abstract: A diagnostic analysis and an appraisal of the precipitation calculation by the GFDL (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory) 1967 version prediction model are presented, using two-week forecasts of 12 January and 12 July ...

Abstract: The GATE analysis was repeated utilizing the full GATE data set in the delayed mode and a revised four-dimensional analysis procedure. The resulting maps wore compared with maps of other author. Based on the new analysis, ...

Abstract: A series of one-month forecasts were carried out for eight January cases, using a particular prediction model and prescribing climatological sea-surface temperature as the boundary condition. Each forecast is a stochastic ...
