Interactions between Long and Synoptic-Scale Waves. Part I: Instability of a Nonzonal Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interactions between long and synoptic-scale waves are studied as a two time-scale process. In the frame of reference of a long wave, a long wave varies slowly compared with the period of synoptic-scale waves. The long ...
Interactions between Long and Synoptic-Scale Waves. Part II: Growth Rate of Long Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The synoptic-scale waves can alter the structure and growth rate of long waves by a two-step process. First, the long wave modulates the synoptic-scale waves on a planetary scale by-changing the local instability characteristics ...
Vertical Tilts of Tropospheric Waves: Observations and Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical tilts of planetary waves as functions of zonal wavenumber and frequency were examined by two methods. First, the vertical tilts were computed by a cross-spectral analysis of the geopotential heights at different ...
A Method to Estimate the Statistical Significance of a Correlation When the Data Are Serially Correlated
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: When analyzing pairs of time series, one often needs to know whether a correlation is statistically significant. If the data are Gaussian distributed and not serially correlated, one can use the results of classical ...
The Potential Predictability in a 14-Year GCM Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 14-yr simulation of a GCM forced by observed SST and sea ice is compared with observations as well as a GCM simulation that used climatological surface conditions. The low frequency (periods > 2 months) behavior in both ...
Discussion of “Singularities of Geotechnical Properties of Complex Soils in Seismic Regions” by Ramon Verdugo
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Closure to “<i>Compaction and Related Properties of Retorted Oil Shale</i>” by Wesley G. Holtz (October, 1983)

Compaction and Related Properties of Retorted Oil Shale
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AS part of a project to demonstrate the feasibility of retorting oil shale by the Paraho vertical retort process, laboratory and field tests were per formed to determine the physical and chemical properties of retorted oil ...
Closure to “<i>Western Engineers in Developing Countries</i>” by Laurence D. Wesley (July, 1987, Vol. 113, No. 3)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion of “<i>Lessons Learned from Compacted Clay Lining</i>” by Bill R. Elsbury, David E. Daniel, Gregory A. Sraders, and David C. Anderson (November, 1990, Vol. 116, No. 11)
