Abstract: AbstractThe possibility of constructing Lorenz?s concept of available potential energy (APE) from a local principle has been known for some time, but it has received very little attention so far. Yet the local APE density ...

Abstract: AbstractGiven the recent changes in the Arctic sea ice, understanding the effects of the resultant polar warming on the global climate is of great importance. However, the interaction between the Arctic and midlatitude ...

Abstract: he North Atlantic eddy-driven jet exhibits latitudinal variability with evidence of three preferred latitudinal locations: south, middle, and north. Here the authors examine the drivers of this variability and the variability ...

Abstract: AbstractThe steady-state response of a midlatitude storm track to large-scale extratropical thermal forcing and eddy friction is investigated in a dry general circulation model with a zonally symmetric forcing. A two-way ...
