Abstract: A different view of El Niño is proposed, namely, that it represents an approach towards the tropical equilibrium temperature of approximately 30°C, set essentially by evaporation, by the waters of the eastern tropical Pacific.

Abstract: The meridional transport of relative angular momentum by transient eddies is computed from the wind data so far available from the Meteorological Rocket Network for the 25?60 km region. The transport is northward in winter ...

Abstract: A new algorithm is applied to study water vapor fluxes in the troposphere using wind and moisture data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. The fluxes are divided into filamentary structures known ...

Abstract: Recent estimates of oceanic meridional energy flux are compared with previous work and shown to he somewhat smaller and have a different annual cycle. When combined with temperature gradient data they show a down-gradient ...

Abstract: Thirty-five million ship reports for the period 1949?79 have been used to construct global, monthly-mean sea surface temperature fields for 5° ? 5° latitude-longitude regions. The monthly means have been subjected to ...

Abstract: A ?stratospheric fountain?, or area where air enters the stratosphere from the troposphere, is postulated based on an analysis of global 100 mb monthly mean temperatures. The temperature threshold is calculated from the ...

Abstract: We report on a workshop designed to study some of the interrelationships between climate and food production, emphasizing the use of readily available climatological data. Closer monitoring of contemporary climatic events ...

Abstract: Measurements of carbon monoxide made in the equatorial upper troposphere on a Pan American flight around the world accomplished in under three days show large changes with longitude that are interpreted as direct evidence ...
