Abstract: We have attempted to determine the theoretical upper limit of dynamical predictability of monthly means for prescribed nonfluctuating external forcings. We have extended the concept of ?classical? predictability, which ...

Abstract: The global general circulation model of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory has been integrated with and without a cold sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly over the Somali coast and the western Arabian Sea. The ...

Abstract: A combined CISK-barotropic-baroclinic instability analysis of the observed monsoon flow has been performed using the quasi-equilibrium assumption for the parameterization of moist convection. Linear perturbation equations ...

Abstract: The currently available model-based global data sets of atmospheric circulation are a by-product of the daily requirement of producing initial conditions for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. These data sets have ...

Abstract: A numerical simulation has been conducted using a general circulation model of the tropical Atlantic Ocean forced with observed monthly surface wind stress for 1964?87 and parameterized surface heat flux. The simulated sea ...

Abstract: Two sets of monthly sea surface wind stress over the tropical Atlantic Ocean are compared. The datasets are based on the ECMWF analyses during 1980?87 (the E-winds) and the monthly pseudo-wind stress from ship observations ...

Abstract: Empirical orthogonal functions (E0Fs) and composite analyses are used to investigate the development of sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly patterns over the tropical Atlantic. The evolution of large-scale rainfall anomaly ...

Abstract: A 110-yr simulation is conducted using a specially designed coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation model that only allows air?sea interaction over the Atlantic Ocean within 30°S?60°N. Since the influence from the ...
