Seasonal and Interannual Variability of Atmospheric Heat Sources and Moisture Sinks as Determined from NCEP–NCAR Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using the National Centers for Environmental Predictions (NCEP)?National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) reanalysis, distributions of the heat source Q1 and moisture sink Q2 between 50°N and 50°S are determined for ...
Upper-Ocean Mixed Layer and Wintertime Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies in the North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the North Pacific, the wintertime sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA), which is represented by March (SSTAMar), when the upper-ocean mixed layer depth (hMar) reaches its maximum, is formed by the anomalous surface ...
Biennial and Lower-Frequency Variability Observed in the Early Summer Climate in the Western North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Early summer climate in the western North Pacific is largely represented by the baiu phenomenon. The meridional fluctuations of the baiu front on interannual time scales and the associated large-scale circulations are ...
Thermal and Geometric Controls on the Rate of Surface Air Temperature Changes in a Medium-Sized, Midlatitude City
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Gradual cooling in the evening forms a wintertime nocturnal urban heat island. This work, with a mesoscale model involving urban canopy physics, is an examination of how four thermal and geometric controls?anthropogenic ...
