Abstract: The predictability of sea surface temperature (SST) is examined through analysis of an idealized, one-dimensional, stochastically forced climate model. The influence on SST predictability of including advection by a constant ...

Abstract: Sudden changes in surface meteorological parameters were observed to propagate across a densely-instrumented network in central Illinois during a summer night in 1979. The changes were due to the outflow from an eastward ...

Abstract: The influence of deterministic forcing on SST predictability is investigated in a zero-dimensional, stochastic, coupled atmosphere?ocean climate model. The SST anomaly predictability time is found to be very sensitive to ...

Abstract: Sea surface height measurements from satellites reveal the turbulent properties of the South Pacific Ocean surface geostrophic circulation, both supporting and challenging different aspects of geostrophic turbulence theory. ...

Abstract: The dynamical processes behind the seasonal modulation of the two-dimensional eddy kinetic energy (EKE) wavenumber spectrum in the Subtropical Countercurrent region of the South Pacific are investigated with 14 yr of ...

Abstract: The energy pathways in geostrophic turbulence are explored using a two-layer, flat-bottom, f-plane, quasigeostrophic model forced by an imposed, horizontally homogenous, baroclinically unstable mean flow and damped by ...

Abstract: Numerous cold air funnels developed in close proximity over central Illinois on 23 May 1988 as the core of an upper-level cutoff low pressure center passed over the region. Five separate funnels were observed by one of the ...

Abstract: Many investigators have idealized the oceanic mesoscale eddy field with numerical simulations of geostrophic turbulence forced by a horizontally homogeneous, baroclinically unstable mean flow. To date such studies have ...

Abstract: A simple objective procedure used exploratively to forecast the occurrence, height, and coalescence activity of summertime convective clouds in Illinois during the cloud-seeding trials of the 1989 Precipitation Augmentation ...
