Abstract: A study is made of the hydrostatic and quasi-geostrophic motion of two superimposed layers of homogeneous and incompressible fluids of different densities, these fluids being contained between two rigid, horizontal plates. ...

Abstract: An experimental colocation and statistical regression scheme is used to verify the hypothesis that large consistent mean errors in the cloudy oceanic satellite temperature retrievals north of 30°N from TIROS-N are due to ...

Abstract: Variational analysis with a geostrophic constraint is used to estimate a critical accuracy for a satellite lidar wind measuring system. This accuracy is such that the combination of satellite winds with satellite temperatures ...

Abstract: The Baer-Tribbia nonlinear modal initialization method implies that large-scale meteorological analyses should focus on analysis of slow mode fields. An idealized multi-variate optimum interpolation analysis is shown to ...

Abstract: Editor's note: This is the first of a series of papers about Carl-Gustaf Rossby that will be published in the Bulletin. All papers were presented at the 1998 Annual Meeting of the American Meteorological Society as part ...

Abstract: Inertia circle motion is a familiar concept demonstrating the behavior of a horizontally moving particle on the rotating earth in response to the Coriolis force. Three dynamical principles valid in nonrotating space are ...
