Thermal Communication Between the Sea Surface and the Lower Troposphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seasonal mean sea surface temperatures and 1000?700 mb thicknesses are correlated by pattern and also for 5° squares over the eastern North Pacific in order to find out more about bulk heat exchange between ocean and ...
Spring and Summer 1988 Drought over the Contiguous United States—Causes and Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper deals primarily with the 1988 summer drought over much of the contiguous United States and its generation from conditions during the preceding spring. Both the spring and summer environment are described in terms ...
PHYSICAL NATURE OF SOME FLUCTUATIONS IN THE SPEED OF THE ZONAL CIRCULATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New data are presented showing the interrelation of temperature and pressure fields in the mid-troposphere. This interrelation is sufficiently close to suggest a physical line of attack on the problem of fluctuations in ...
Some Causes of United States Drought
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Some physical causes of United States drought are outlined. Among the associated factors is subsidence,either in the upper level anticyclones or to the south of strong jets, or sometimes under prevailing northerlycomponents ...
The 1968–69 Winter as an Outgrowth of Sea and Air Coupling During Antecedent Seasons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: North Pacific sea surface temperature variations are analyzed as a result of and a controlling factor for the general atmospheric circulation during the period from May 1968 through the subsequent winter, when heavy rains ...
A 5-YEAR EXPERIMENT IN THE PREPARATION OF SEASONAL OUTLOOKS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This report describes a method developed for routinely predicting the average characteristics of the forthcoming season from synoptic data gathered, processed, and analyzed on the macroscale. The method involves a combination ...
NATURE AND POSSIBLE CAUSES OF THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES DROUGHT DURING 1962–65
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the past 4 years noteworthy weather fluctuations of a persistent kind have occurred over large portions of the United States, the most prominent, of which have been the deficiency in precipitation over the Northeast ...
