Abstract: The known general solution of the system of linearized equations for non-viscous, adiabatic, quasi-hydrostatic flow on an equatorially oriented ?-plane is examined in detail for various boundary conditions imposed on the ...

Abstract: A linearized, two-level forecast model with known analytic solution is numerically integrated to examine the behavior of the accumulated error (truncation and machine word ?round-off? error). The results indicate that for ...

Abstract: Numerical experiments were performed with variable resolution two-dimensional rectangular Cartesian grids. The shallow-water equations were integrated on several variable-mesh grids and on a constant increment fine-resolution ...

Abstract: The physical stability of perturbation motions in a conditionally unstable tropical atmosphere at rest is examined under CISK forcing. The governing linear multi-layer primitive equations are formulated into an eigenvalue ...

Abstract: A method for objectively analyzing the geopotential height field on a constant pressure surface using reported upper-air data is described. Special attention is given to the analysis in data sparse regions, in particular, ...

Abstract: In this Paper we present the geometry and intensity of the mean east?west circulation during the northern winter. We show that near the equatorial latitudes two pronounced regions of divergent mass outflow in the upper ...
