Abstract: Sensitivity experiments with a perpetual January version of a low-resolution general circulation model are conducted to investigate the influence of mountains on blocking in the Northern Hemisphere. Two 1200-day integrations, ...

Abstract: The structure of the steady transverse circulation of a rotating stratified fluid on an f plane is analyzed in two stages. First, a length scale analysis is performed, giving the relationships between the vertical and ...

Abstract: The relationships between vertical and horizontal length scales in a rotating stratified fluid on the beta plane are discussed in an attempt to unify the results of previous papers. The model is steady, linear and Boussinesq, ...

Abstract: The effects of uncertainty in the steady‐state procedure for evaluation of liquefaction potential are evaluated and discussed. While steady‐state concepts provide a useful framework for understanding of the liquefaction ...

Abstract: The behavior of a peat from Mercer Slough in Bellevue, Wash., was investigated by a program of field and laboratory testing. The peat was very soft, very weak, and highly compressible. Water contents averaged approximately ...

Abstract: Sensitivity experiments with a perpetual January version of a low-revolution general circulation model (GCM) are conducted to investigate the influence of different, nonzero specifications of orography on low-frequency ...

Abstract: The large-scale environment of small synoptic-scale cyclones that occur in polar air streams over the wintertime North Pacific behind or poleward of major frontal bands is objectively documented by the compositing of ...

Abstract: Sanders and Gyakum's (1980) 24-hour criterion (a central pressure fall that averages at least 1 mb h?1 for 24 h) of a rapidly deepening extratropical surface cyclone is adopted to investigate explosive surface cyclogenesis ...
