Abstract: The atmospheric stationary wave response to a midlatitude sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly is examined with an idealized general circulation model (GCM) as well as steady linear model, in a similar way as Ting and ...

Abstract: The maintenance of northern summer stationary waves is studied with data from a 15-year integration of the general circulation model (GCM) experiment performed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. The model has ...

Abstract: The atmospheric response to tropical heating is examined using both the linear, multilevel baroclinic model with an imposed tropical heat source, and the one-level barotropic model with a tropical divergence forcing. The ...

Abstract: AbstractIntraseasonal variability of rainfall over the Indian subcontinent (IS) and the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has been discussed widely but often separately. In this study, we investigate the covariability of rainfall across ...

Abstract: The maintenance mechanisms of the climatological stationary waves and their seasonal cycle are investigated with a linear stationary wave model and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?National Center for ...

Abstract: Summer precipitation over the central United States depends strongly on the strength of the Great Plains low-level jet (LLJ). The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory?s new generation of the atmospheric general circulation ...

Abstract: The variability of winter average U.S. precipitation displays strong geographical dependence with large variability in the southeastern and northwestern United States. The covariance of the U.S. winter mean precipitation ...

Abstract: The year-to-year fluctuations in summertime precipitation over the U.S. Great Plains are examined in this study using data from 1950 to 1990. There are large interannual variabilities in precipitation amounts over the Great ...

Abstract: The differences between early and middle winter atmospheric responses to the sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) in the northwest Atlantic are examined using a linear baroclinic model. Using a global spectral model, ...
