Abstract: A climate simulation of a limited area model implemented over the Australian region is analyzed for the presence of low pressure systems that have some of the physical characteristics of tropical cyclones. The model is run ...

Abstract: This study examines the capability of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) climate model in simulating the observed modes of interannual variability of the Southern Hemisphere circulation. ...

Abstract: The CSIRO9 general circulation model shows a zonally symmetric mode of variability, which closely resembles the high-latitude mode (HLM) in middle and high latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere. The leading EOF of the zonal ...

Abstract: The linearized shallow water equations on a sphere are solved numerically to examine the sensitivity of the steady response to midlatitude mountain forcing to the zonal mean basic state. The zonal mean basic state consists ...

Abstract: An automated weather system identification and tracking scheme is used to appraise the skill of the CSIRO9 GCM in replicating contemporary extratropical cyclone and anticyclone behavior, and to assess possible changes as ...

Abstract: Gray's seasonal genesis parameter (SGP) is reassessed as a diagnostic quantity for both climatological and single-season tropical cyclogenesis. The SGP applied to global analyses from recent years is able to locate the ...
