Abstract: A new perspective of the dynamics of a tropical cyclone eye is given in which eye subsidence and the adiabatic warming accompanying it are accounted for directly from the equations of motion. Subsidence is driven by an ...

Abstract: There is a tendency for certain flows in the atmosphere and oceans to concentrate into narrow streams or currents, which preserve their identity over very large distances. The ability of such flows to overcome the diffusive ...

Abstract: This paper contains a study of the energy conversions in Pedlosky's solution for finite-amplitude baroclinic wave development for the case of small dissipation. It is shown that the solution contains an implicit, non-physical ...

Abstract: Resonant interactions between a marginally unstable baroclinic wave and one or two pairs of neutral waves in a rotating, two-layer zonal Row model are studied. Analyses based on a multiple scaling technique are carried out ...

Abstract: In an earlier paper (Smith, 1977) it is shown that when viscous effects are important only on a time scale much longer than that for incipient wave growth, the amplitude evolution of a marginally unstable baroclinic wave ...

Abstract: A recent numerical study of vortex growth in a flow configuration which models the principal characteristics of a tornado cyclone (Smith and Leslie, 1978) is extended to take account of vertical stability. It is shown that ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a field expedition mounted in late September/early October 1979 to investigate the structure and origin of the ?morning glory? of the Gulf of Carpentaria in northern Australia. The morning ...

Abstract: Much of the significant weather of southeastern Australia is associated with the passage of cold fronts. In summer, such passages are often accompanied by rapid and extreme temperature fails, as hot continental northerly ...
