A Nonlinear Perspective on the Dynamics of the MJO: Idealized Large-Eddy Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 30?60-day intraseasonal atmospheric oscillation in the equatorial atmosphere, the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO), is most visible in its signature of outgoing longwave radiation and associated convective centers. ...
Direct Numerical Simulation of the Plumb–McEwan Laboratory Analog of the QBO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The laboratory experiment of Plumb and McEwan demonstrates the principal mechanism of periodically reversing winds observed in the stratosphere?the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO). However, despite numerous studies, some ...
A Fast Spherical Harmonics Transform for Global NWP and Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ery high-resolution spectral transform models are believed to become prohibitively expensive because of the relative increase in computational cost of the Legendre transforms compared to the gridpoint computations. This ...
Spectral Empirical Orthogonal Function Analysis of Weather and Climate Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWe apply spectral empirical orthogonal function (SEOF) analysis to educe climate patterns as dominant spatiotemporal modes of variability from reanalysis data. SEOF is a frequency-domain variant of standard empirical ...
