CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization) Division of Atmospheric Research, research report 83-85

Technical Report · Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1986

OSTI ID:5968988

The report is a description of the first two years of activity of the new Division of Atmospheric Research. The Division's rationale for the main research program structure is based on a four-fold approach to atmospheric research, involving: The material structure of the atmospheric system (atmospheric constituents); The primary forcing mechanism (solar and terrestrial radiation, together with clouds which are a principal interactive control on the radiation budget); The dynamical response of the system on a regional scale (small-scale dynamics); and the dynamical response of the system on a planetary scale (large-scale dynamics).
