Abstract: The stochastic theory of compressible turbulent fluid transport recently developed by Dukowicz and Smith is applied to the ensemble-mean primitive equations (PEs) for adiabatic stratified flow. The theory predicts a ...

Abstract: On 1 March 1997 violent tornadoes caused numerous fatalities and widespread damage across portions of central and eastern Arkansas and western Tennessee. In addition, the associated thunderstorms produced very heavy rainfall ...

Abstract: An anisotropic generalization of the Gent?McWilliams (GM) parameterization is presented for eddy-induced tracer transport and diffusion in ocean models, and it is implemented in an ocean general circulation model using a ...

Abstract: The sea surface elevation relative to the geoid, a dynamic boundary condition for the three-dimensional oceanic pressure field, is being determined over the global ocean every 10 days by a precision radar altimeter aboard ...

Abstract: Certain aspects of the Semtner-Chervin version of the Bryan-Cox-Semtner global ocean model are reformulated for improved efficiency on parallel computer architectures and on the Connection Machine CM-2 in particular. These ...

Abstract: A bivariate time series regression approach is used to model observed variations in hemispheric mean temperature over the period 1900?96. The regression equations include deterministic predictor variables and lagged values ...

Abstract: A Bayesian statistical model is proposed that combines information from a multimodel ensemble of atmosphere?ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs) and observations to determine probability distributions of future ...

Abstract: Mesoscale eddies in the ocean play an important role in the ocean circulation. In order to simulate the ocean circulation, mesoscale eddies must be included explicitly or parameterized. The eddy permitting calculations of ...

Abstract: Coastal eutrophication is an important problem, and nitrogen input from the watershed is a primary cause. Consequently, management efforts often focus on lowering watershed N export by reducing the N loading (e.g., from ...
