Abstract: Observations of the surface radiometric temperature by the AVHRR sensor on board the NOAA-9 satellite during the First ISLSCP (International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project) Field Experiment conducted in central ...

Abstract: A new, direct numerical method is proposed for finding the phase speeds and pressure fields of low-frequency nondispersive coastally trapped waves in a continuously stratified flow. The usual two-dimensional problem is ...

Abstract: The perturbations to the static stability (and hence to the radar reflectivity) and to the velocity in a vertically propagating gravity wave are correlated, and the sign of the correlation depends on whether the wave is ...

Abstract: Measurements using the Sounding System (SOUSY) VHF radar in the Harz Mountains, Germany, were carried out in the troposphere and lower stratosphere in the summer of 1996. To study the structure and the dynamics with high ...

Abstract: The Wright and Stocker oceanic thermohaline circulation model is coupled to a recently developed zonally averaged energy moisture balance model for the atmosphere. The results obtained with this coupled model are compared ...

Abstract: We formulate a new second-order closure turbulence model by employing a recent closure for the pressure–temperature correlation at the equation level. As a result, we obtain new heat flux equations that avoid the long-standing ...

Abstract: A database of surface Antarctic snow isotopic composition is constructed using available measurements, with an estimate of data quality and local variability. Although more than 1000 locations are documented, the spatial ...
