Abstract: It is shown through zonal harmonic analysis that the standing-eddy transports of west momentum and sensible heat are considerably interdependent in winter. Moreover, the interdependence aids the establishment of down-gradient ...

Abstract: Very good agreement is shown to exist between the meridional distributions of the zonal wavenumber n of rapidly amplifying baroclinic waves on a sphere and of an average wavenumber n of ?grid-scale? atmospheric eddies. As ...

Abstract: Two types of parameterization of large-scale eddy fluxes are studied. The diffusion model of the flux of sensible heat is valid when the entire region between 20 and 80°N is treated as a zone of mixing. If, however, smaller ...

Abstract: The annual cycle occupies a unique position in the spectra of meteorological time series. This cycle and its first three harmonics are extracted from the series as a seasonal cycle. The distributions of the annual and ...

Abstract: Laboratory experiments reveal an approximate inverse dependence of the azimuthal wavenumber upon the radial temperature gradient, in the steady Rossby regime. To verify the occurrence of a similar relationship in the ...
