Abstract: A one-layer, tropospherically averaged tracer model and its adjoint are used to examine observed midlatitude regional anomalies in terms of horizontal advection, and the effects of adiabatic and diabatic heat sources. The ...

Abstract: An equivalent barotropic tracer model and its adjoint are used to examine observed central European anomalies of potential vorticity (PV) in terms of advection and diabatic effects. The PV viewpoint yields a similar picture ...

Abstract: The influence of ocean?atmosphere interaction on the wintertime Arctic oscillation (AO) is investigated using a hierarchy of experiments made with two general circulation models (GCMs), ranging from climatologically forced ...

Abstract: Linear baroclinic instability theory is used to investigate the subweekly time scale transient eddies (TEs) and their feedbacks associated with three-dimensional basic flows on the Northern Hemisphere, in terms of a two-layer ...

Abstract: Recent work has shown the applicability of Bayesian inference techniques, which use a physics-based representation of the structure of interest, to structural health monitoring (SHM) tasks, such as damage identification. ...

Abstract: The linear baroclinic instability of three-dimensional basic flows on the Northern Hemisphere is examined in terms of a simple two-level, quasi-geostrophic model. The basic flows considered comprise an observed six-winter ...

Abstract: The quality of structural parameter identification in nonlinear systems using Bayesian estimators, such as the unscented Kalman filter (UKF), depends heavily on the assumptions about the state and observation noise processes. ...
