Abstract: A modified shallow water model with simplified mixed layer dynamics and a sea surface temperature (SST) equation is employed to gain a theoretical understanding of the modes and mechanisms of coupled air-sea interaction ...

Abstract: A model is developed for tropical air?sea interaction studies, which is intermediate in complexity between the large coupled general circulation models (coupled GCMs) coming into use and the simple two-level models with ...

Abstract: AbstractIt is an open question whether an integrated measure of buoyancy can yield a strong relation to precipitation across tropical land and ocean, across the seasonal and diurnal cycles, and for varying degrees of ...

Abstract: A class of model for simulation and theory of the tropical atmospheric component of climate variations is introduced. These models are referred to as quasi-equilibrium tropical circulation models, or QTCMs, because they ...

Abstract: he accurate representation of precipitation is a recurring issue in climate models. El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) precipitation teleconnections provide a test bed for comparison of modeled to observed precipitation. ...

Abstract: Mechanisms determining the poleward extent of summer monsoon convergence zones for North America, Asia, and Africa are examined in an intermediate atmospheric model coupled with a simple land model and a mixed layer ocean. ...

Abstract: Tropical mean precipitation anomalies ?P?? for 3-month averages appear quite scattered in relation to tropical average sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies ?Ts??, based on examination of a number of observational datasets ...

Abstract: A simple midlatitude coupled model for idealized ocean basins is used to investigate processes of ocean?atmosphere interaction and its role in interdecadal climate variability at midlatitudes. The ocean model consists of ...
