Abstract: An idealized zonally asymmetric mean state in the Tropics is used to investigate the effects of atmospheric mean Walker circulations and sea surface temperatures on the zonal variability of tropical waves with positive- ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of vertical shear of the mean zonal flow on CISK waves in a spherical geometry. A linearized primitive equation model, including mean zonal flow, on a sphere is designed to generalize ...

Abstract: Little is known about the effects of surface water over land on the decay of landfalling hurricanes. This study, using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory hurricane ...

Abstract: In this study, the effect of thermodynamic environmental changes on hurricane intensity is extensively investigated with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory hurricane ...

Abstract: One-dimensional calculations are carried out for the time evolution of the equatorial lower stratospheric mean zonal wind forced by time-varying equatorial Kelvin and mixed Rossby?gravity waves. If the time variation of ...

Abstract: This study explores how a carbon dioxide (CO2) warming?induced enhancement of hurricane intensity could be altered by the inclusion of hurricane?ocean coupling. Simulations are performed using a coupled version of the ...
