Abstract: A steady-state quasi-geostrophic two-layer model for the quasi-stationary perturbations of the Northern Hemisphere midwinter conditions is used to study the response of the model to stimulated anomalies at the earth's ...

Abstract: Using parameterized forms of time-averaged heat fluxes at the interface between the earth and the atmosphere, the normal temperature at the earth's surface is determined by satisfying the heat balance condition. The ...

Abstract: The purpose of the study is to make a detailed investigation of mean meridional circulations forced by given eddy transports of heat and momentum and to describe the vertical variation of the energy conversions for the ...

Abstract: The barotropic vorticity equation and zonal kinetic energy equation are used to derive a formula expressing the transport of relative angular momentum by large-scale transient eddies in terms of other mean zonally averaged ...

Abstract: A zonal-average, annual-mean, statistical-dynamical climate model governing two domains (the atmosphere and a subsurface medium consisting of either ice or ?swamp?), and including the dynamics of mean poloidal motions and ...

Abstract: To simulate the onset and intraseasonal variability of summer monsoons, the National Centers for Environmental Prediction Eta Model (80 km, L38) is nested in the Center for Ocean?Land?Atmosphere Studies GCM (R40, L18). The ...

Abstract: State-of-the-art general circulation models have deficiencies in simulating the observed amplitude and phase of the mean patterns of circulation and precipitation over the Asian monsoon region. They are also deficient in ...

Abstract: Outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) simulated by the GLAS general circulation model is compared with that derived from measurements made by polar orbiting satellites. The comparison is made for spatial and seasonal variations ...

Abstract: The governing equations for stationary perturbations are derived by subtracting the equations for the mean zonally averaged flow from the equations for the time-averaged flow. The averaging period for the ensemble is chosen ...

Abstract: The roles played by the large-scale motion induced by vertical diffusion of heat from the lower boundary and condensational heating due to deep convection in maintaining the precipitation zones in the Tropics of an atmospheric ...
