Abstract: The dynamics of eddy-induced fluctuations of the zonal-mean current in the troposphere and lower stratosphere is examined from the perspective of conventional and transformed Eulerian diagnostics using ECMWF FGGE IIIb data. ...

Abstract: The nature and extent of the interactions between the zonally averaged current (?) and synoptic-scale eddies, including the contribution of the eddy-induced men meridional circulation, are assessed. Eddy fluxes of heat and ...

Abstract: An iterative numerical procedure, suitable for use on electronic computers, is presented for calculating the horizontal propagation speeds of acoustic-gravity waves in a stratified atmosphere. The atmosphere is represented ...

Abstract: The radial circulation equation for a balanced vortex is solved with forcing functions obtained from numerical simulations of hurricane formation from prehurricane cloud clusters and depressions. The simulations were made ...

Abstract: Two types of vacillation are distinguished in a rotating differentially heated annulus of fluid: (1) Tilted-trough vacillation, which has been discussed in a number of previous papers in the literature, is characterized ...

Abstract: The nonlinear effects of asymmetries associated with synoptic-scale waves in which hurricanes usually form are simulated by introducing steady-state and time varying eddy fluxes of angular momentum in a parameterized way ...

Abstract: The results of numerical integrations of Sundqvist's (1970) symmetric model for hurricane development modified to include parameterized large-scale eddy fluxes of momentum are presented. The initial wind and moisture ...

Abstract: The effect of the vertical transport of horizontal momentum by cumulus clouds on the development of a symmetric model hurricane is investigated. This is accomplished by using Sundqvist's symmetric hurricane model with ...

Abstract: Angular momentum relative to a fixed vertical axis is used as a measure of rotational flow on the scale of cyclones and anticyclones. An exact equation derived by Starr for the time rate of change of this momentum is ...
