Abstract: Five methods of calculating aerodynamic stagnation-point heat transfer at velocities of 25,000 to 40,000 fps are considered. Three of these methods are simple extrapolations of techniques previously ...

Abstract: The term ?dipole? implies a seesaw, inverse variations of an element at the extremities of an oscillationsystem. The Southern Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation are examples of such mainly standing oscillations ...

Abstract: The flow in the vaneless diffuser of a centrifugal compressor is found by means of a series of conformal transformations which map the uniform parallel flow over a semi-infinite flat plate ...

Abstract: Expanding on earlier research, empirically based methods are developed for predicting March-September rainfall in northern Northeast Brazil. From a network of 27 raingage stations in Brazil's Nordeste, new rainfall index ...

Abstract: This study expands recent research into the predictability of Indian monsoon rainfall anomalies. In addition to the April latitude position of the 500 mb ridge over India, and Darwin pressure tendency, the May surface ...

Abstract: This paper investigates how multiple steady states arise in an ocean general circulation model, caused by the fact that many different convection patterns can be stable under the same surface boundary conditions. Two ...

Abstract: A complex of anomalies in the premonsoon large-scale circulation setting heralds the interannual variability of India summer monsoon rainfall. The most prominent precursors of precipitation anomalies are the latitude ...

Abstract: A substantial portion of the interannual variability of rainfall at Jakarta, Java, can be predicted from antecedent pressure anomalies at Darwin, northern Australia; the pressure persistence, the concurrent correlation of ...

Abstract: Heat budget estimates for the global tropics are derived from recent calculations of the oceanic heat budget and satellite measurements of net radiation at the top of the atmosphere. Annual mean heat export from the zone ...

Abstract: This comment discusses two issues raised by a recent study of the stability of the thermohaline circulation (Tziperman et al.). A numerical problem is pointed out that may have affected the results of the reported calculations. ...
