Abstract: Circulation around the South Pacific anticyclone causes cold water to upwell along the South American coast and along the equator cast of the date line. Normally the atmospheric circulation in the equatorial region is ...

Abstract: A new Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set for the period 1854?1979 will soon become available for studies of secular climate changes in ocean surface heat flux. Of the observed variables from which heat flux is calculated, ...

Abstract: Public weather forecasting heralded the beginning of modern meteorology less than 150 years ago. Since then, meteorology has been largely a forecasting discipline. Thus, forecasting could have easily been used to test and ...

Abstract: The summer heat low system extending from Somalia across southeast Arabia to northwest India is the most extensive and intense on earth. Although it develops in the normal way over desert regions in response to the sun's ...

Abstract: A brief history is given of summer weather forecasting for south China and its neighborhood, as practiced in Hong Kong, underlining the failure of frontal and air-mass methods of analysis to provide workable models. By ...

Abstract: Parameterizations in numerical models of the general atmospheric circulation accord with the hypothesis advanced by lchiye and Petersen and Bjerknes?high sea surface temperatures ?cause? high local rainfall. Observations ...

Abstract: The Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set reveals that mean scalar winds decreased between 1854 and 1920 and increased since World War II. The latter increase is due to a change in estimating procedure and to the growing ...

Abstract: Operational meteorology and its supporting research are based on long-established beliefs that important weather changes are preceded by recognizable meteorological events, and that forecasting accuracy improves along with ...
