Abstract: Integrated and spectral energetics of the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheric Sciences (GLAS) general circulation model are compared with observations and examined when subdivided beyond hemispheric integrals. In the monthly ...

Abstract: Relations between stratospheric wind errors, initial states and 500 mb skill are investigated using the GLAS general circulation model initialized with FGGE data. Erroneous stratospheric winds are seen in all current general ...

Abstract: Excessive wind speeds are present above the subtropical jets in all current general circulation model forecasts. In this paper we study the longitude and time dependence of these errors in 14 five-day winter forecasts using ...

Abstract: We have obtained cruise-level wind data from commercial aircraft, and compared this data with operational jet stream analyses over southwest Asia, an area of limited conventional data. We present results from an ensemble ...

Abstract: Wind measurements have been obtained from commercial aircraft crossing the 1992 winter subtropical jet streams over southwest and east Asia. Comparisons of these data with new, high-resolution analyses from four of the ...

Abstract: A calculation of the spectral and spatial energetics of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) 9-level model of the global atmosphere is given. Results are presented from a model simulation of January 1973 and ...

Abstract: A model description and numerical results are presented for a global atmospheric circulation model developed at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). The model version described is a 9-level primitive-equation ...
