Abstract: The atmospheric response to a localized distribution of tropical heating is examined in terms of the stationary waves excited and how these impact the mean flow near the tropical tropopause. This is done by examining ...

Abstract: A quantitative examination of the annual cycle in the tropical tropopause temperatures, tropical ascent, momentum balance, and wave driving is performed using ECMWF analyses to determine how the annual cycle in tropical ...

Abstract: Results are presented from a matrix of coupled model integrations, using atmosphere resolutions of 135 and 90 km, and ocean resolutions of 1° and 1/3°, to study the impact of resolution on simulated climate. The mean state ...

Abstract: This article describes the development and evaluation of the U.K.?s new High-Resolution Global Environmental Model (HiGEM), which is based on the latest climate configuration of the Met Office Unified Model, known as the ...
