Abstract: Stationary solutions in the presence of bottom topography are computed for a tropical atmospheric belt. A primitive divergent barotropic model is assumed. An iterative time-averaging method proposed by Edelmann (1972b) is ...

Abstract: A barotropic model over an equatorial beta-plane is used to investigate the response when a uniform zonal current crosses an isolated hypothetical mountain centered at the equator. The bounded derivative initialization ...

Abstract: The functional relationship between the relative operating characteristic (ROC) and the economic value (EV) graphical methods have been exploited to develop a hybrid procedure called the extended ROC (EROC) method. The ...

Abstract: In this study, the potential role of global warming in modulating the future climate over the eastern Mediterranean (EM) region has been investigated. The primary vehicle of this investigation is the Abdus Salam International ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian (SISL) linear model and a nonlinear SISL global shallow-water model are employed to investigate the sensitivity of the solutions on (i) the order of interpolation applied at ...

Abstract: This study examines the intraseasonal climate variability over the Greater Horn of Africa (GHA) during the rainy season of October?December (OND). The investigation is primarily based on empirical orthogonal function (EOF) ...

Abstract: Rainfall is a driving factor of climate in the tropics and needs to be properly represented within a climate model. This study customizes the precipitation processes over the tropical regions of eastern Africa and the ...

Abstract: A method referred to as scale-selective data assimilation (SSDA) is designed to inject the large-scale components of the atmospheric circulation from a global model into a regional model to improve regional climate simulations ...

Abstract: A global nonhydrostatic semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian (SISL) atmospheric model with orography has been developed. The height-based terrain-following σz coordinate of Gal-Chen and Somerville is used to incorporate the ...

Abstract: A computationally efficient mass-conservative transport scheme over the sphere is proposed and tested. The scheme combines a conservative finite-volume method with an efficient semi-Lagrangian scheme based on the dimension ...
