Abstract: Impacts of atmospheric mean zonal flows on equatorial and subequatorial waves are examined using the generalized Laplace tidal equation, a horizontal structure equation that explicitly includes the effect of horizontal ...

Abstract: The reduction of complex systems to their essential degrees of freedom (e.g., patterns spanning that part of state space that the system?s trajectory passes in time) and development of reduced models based on these might ...

Abstract: A troposphere?stratosphere simple GCM that simulates the wintertime general circulation with considerable accuracy is presented. The model is driven by temperature relaxation, additional prescribed tropical heating, ...

Abstract: The influence of the variability of large-scale eddy heat and momentum fluxes on interannual and decadal changes in the zonal mean ozone distribution is investigated based on a two-dimensional circulation model with ...

Abstract: A principal interaction pattern (PIP) analysis aims at finding a limited number of structures in seemingly very complicated physical scenarios that are time independent up to their amplitudes and phases. These vary according ...

Abstract: The influence of baroclinic waves on tropopause height was studied with a 2D version of the standard climate 3D GCM ECHAM3. The main feature of the 2D version is a self-consistent parameterization of the transient tropospheric ...
