Abstract: The role of static stability (σ) is diagnosed for an intense extratropical cyclone that developed over the central United States during 9?11 January 1975. Results indicate that minimum σ, values occurred in the lower ...

Abstract: his study formulates a synoptic-scale eddy (SSE) kinetic energy equation by partitioning the original field into seasonal mean circulation, intraseasonal oscillation (ISO), and SSEs to examine the multiscale interactions ...

Abstract: The primary goal of this study is to compare the principal adiabatic and diabatic mechanisms responsible for the behavior of an extratropical cyclone system. To accomplish this goal, the height tendency is solved from two ...

Abstract: The role of scale interactions in the maintenance of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) during the extreme phases of the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) is examined through the construction of a new eddy energetics diagnostic tool ...
