Abstract: Individual monthly mean general circulation statistics for the Northern Hemisphere winters of 1978?79, 1979?80, 1980?81, and 1981?82 are examined for the altitude region from the earth's surface to 55 km. Substantial ...

Abstract: Monthly mean Northern Hemisphere general circulation statistics are presented for the four-year average December, January and February months of the winters 1978?79 through 1981?82. These calculations start with daily maps ...

Abstract: Monthly mean residual circulations were calculated from eight years of satellite data. The diabatic circulation is usually found to give a good approximation to the residual circulation, but this is not always the case. ...

Abstract: The temporal and spatial variations of the zonally-averaged ozone beating rate in the middle atmosphere on a global scale are investigated in detail based on a model study. This study shows that the mean ozone heating rate ...
