A Generalized Solution for the Large-Scale, Time-Average Perturbations in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A solution is given, in the form of influence functions, for the forced geostrophic response of the atmosphere to the combined effects of zonal asymmetries in (i) the lower boundary orography and (ii) the mean, ...
ON THE THEORY OF THE WINTER-AVERAGE PERTURBATIONS IN THE TROPOSPHERE AND STRATOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A general solution is obtained for forced, stationary, quasi-geostrophic perturbations in an atmosphere having the main zonal-average characteristics of the winter troposphere and stratosphere. Special solutions along 45° ...
SOME HEMISPHERIC SPECTRAL STATISTICS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results of computations of the spectrum of the eddy kinetic energy, the angular momentum transport, and the transfer of kinetic energy between the eddies and the mean motion, for the month of January 1949, are presented. ...
Finite Amplitude Free Convection as an Initial Value Problem—I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Oberbeck-Boussinesq equations are reduced to a two-dimensional form governing ?roll? convection between two free surfaces maintained at a constant temperature difference. These equations are then transformed to a set ...
The Mid-Quaternary Climatic Transition as the Free Response of a Three-Variable Dynamical Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simplified version of a previously described dynamical model governing global ice mass, atmospheric carbon dioxide, and mean ocean temperature (that may also be a proxy for some other CO2?controlling oceanic variable, ...
A Model of the Internal Feedback System Involved in Late Quaternary Climatic Variations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Because of the small net rates of energy flow involved in very long-term changes in ice mass (10?1 W m?2) it will be impossible to proceed in a purely deductive manner to develop a theory for these changes. An inductive ...
Longitude–Height Sections of the Mean Meridional Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cross sections of the mean meridional wind for winter and summer along five latitudes (15°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 75°N) are presented, and their salient features described.
