Abstract: The need for meridional resolution in steady state linear models depends on the damping near the critical latitude (CL). In barotropic models considered previously, a strong damping can be used, since the damping must ...

Abstract: The total response of a linear two-layer stationary wave model to all the forcing functions (mountains, diabatic heating, nonlinear eddy fluxes) was calculated using various reflection coefficients for the critical latitude ...

Abstract: In a region with no wave activity sinks or sources, the distribution of the WKB-approximated correlation between the stationary eddy velocity components is determined by the ratio of northward to southward wave activity ...

Abstract: The Northern Hemispere 500-mb geopotential height analyses for the period 1956?79 have been used to study the existence and persistence of analogues. An expression for the mean-square difference between two 500-mb height ...

Abstract: uture seasonal changes in surface incident solar radiation and relative humidity (RH) over Europe and adjacent ocean areas were assessed based on phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3) model ensemble. ...

Abstract: The effect of transient eddies (TE) on stationary eddies (SE) is studied in terms of how the TEs force the SE isobaric height variance in the northern extratropics. The method used correlates the observed SE height field ...

Abstract: A Web site questionnaire survey in Finland suggested that maps illustrating projected shifts of Köppen climatic zones are an effective visualization tool for disseminating climate change information. The climate classification ...

Abstract: To support the planning of future solar energy production in India, forthcoming changes in incoming surface solar radiation and the main physical factors contributing to the change were inferred from simulations performed ...
