Abstract: The data collected during the three special observing periods (SOPs) of the Antarctic First Regional Observing Study of the Troposphere project provide an excellent base upon which to study the behavior of cyclonic systems ...

Abstract: To investigate the effects of coating layer thickness on stress and the debonding behavior near the interface of coating layer and substrate, multiscale analysis is a must since molecular ...

Abstract: It is shown that a global curvilinear grid with variable resolution is an efficient way of providing a high density of grid points in a particular region. In equilibrium experiments using asynchronous time steps, this type ...

Abstract: Connections between basins below 4000 m, which may or may not be resolved in computer-generated model topography, have been found to have a considerable impact on the movement of Antarctic Bottom Water and on deep ocean ...

Abstract: Unphysical extrema are found in ocean simulations employing space-centered advection even when horizontal mixing coefficients are sufficient to suppress checkerboard behavior. They are mostly found as isolated spurious ...

Abstract: Consensus forecasts from the control runs of several operational numerical models are compared to 1) the control-run forecasts of the individual models that compose the consensus and to 2) other consensus forecasts generated ...

Abstract: Growth of nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) particles on background stratospheric aerosols is examined for an isolated air parcel cooled at a uniform rate. The free energy barrier against nucleation and rates of cooling are ...
