Abstract: A stability analysis is made for the east-west Walker circulation in the tropics by means of eigenfrequency calculations of a small perturbation. The characteristic equations are formulated based on the assumption that the ...

Abstract: A numerical model of the atmosphere-soil boundary layer was developed which simulates heat and moisture exchange between the atmosphere and the soil. The atmospheric and soil equations are solved using the physical conditions ...

Abstract: A simple model is developed whereby we compute the men hydrological elements in the atmosphere including fractional cloudiness, liquid water content, rate of precipitation, and the water vapor field over a large area. The ...

Abstract: The Atmospheric Radiation Tables (ART) of Elsasser and Culbertson were used to calculate the atmospheric radiation, and the results are compared with those of other methods. The cooling rate calculated from ART agrees well ...

Abstract: The atmospheric circulation on Venus was studied by means of numerical integrations of the governing equations. In the main part of the calculations, stationary solar heating was assumed and the atmospheric circulation was ...

Abstract: It is assumed that a small temperature perturbation is superimposed on a steady equilibrium temperature distribution in the atmosphere. The time dependent equation for radiative transfer in a plane parallel gray atmosphere ...

Abstract: The nonlinear effects due to transient eddies and stationary eddies are analysed for the large-scale winter mean circulation, based on the potential vorticity equation for the zonally asymmetric time-averaged quasi-geostrophic ...

Abstract: We discuss momentum balance and energetics in the stratosphere (18?36 km) based on the simulated mean January results described in Part I. The latitudinal distributions of component terms in the momentum budget equation ...

Abstract: A linear stability analysis was made for forced stationary planetary waves to supplement the theoretical interpretation on the large dissipative role of the transient motions, using simple quasi-geostrophic models on the ...

Abstract: A radiation scheme has been developed by which the absorption of water vapor in the near-infrared regions of the solar spectrum can be inserted into the transfer program for inhomogeneous aerosol atmospheres. The incorporation ...
