Weather and Climate Forecasting as Problems in Hydrodynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Prediction equations for complicated hydrodynamic flows are examined in a critical and didactic manner. The conventions adopted in the derivation of the Navier-Stokes equation from kinetic theory are shown to imply progressive ...
Eddy Viscosity in Truncated and Averaged Hydrodynamical Equations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An eddy viscosity suitable for use with the spatially averaged Navier-Stokes equation is formulated and compared with Kraichnan's computations of eddy viscosity for use with the truncated spectral equations, in the special ...
The Origin of Haze in the Central United States and Its Effect on Solar Irradiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The depletion by atmospheric haze of solar irradiation at the earth's surface in the central United States is estimated and some aspects of the origin of the haze investigated. Observed optical properties of the haze are ...
The Variance Spectrum of Tropospheric Winds over Eastern Europe
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily values of the 500 mb wind at 72 radiosonde stations in eastern Europe during July 1966 are analyzed. Variance is extracted for groups of contiguous stations occupying increasingly large areas, and for the whole set ...
GATE Air-Sea Interactions II: Numerical-Model Calculation of Regional Sea-Surface Temperature Fields Using the GATE Version III Gridded Global Data Set
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The numerical model of air-sea interaction previously described in Brown et al. (1982), Pandolfo and Jacobs (1972) and Pandolfo (1969) is applied over a limited horizontal portion of the GATE III Gridded Global Data set ...
