Book ·
OSTI ID:6903296
Papers are presented on large-scale eddies and the general circulation of the troposphere; the role of barotropic energy conversions in the general circulation; balance conditions in the earth's climate system, climate sensitivity; CO2 and hydrology; modeling of paleoclimates; and the southern oscillation and El Nino. Topics treated include the stratospheric dynamics of the middle atmosphere, wave-mean-flow interaction in the middle atmosphere, radiative-dynamical interactions in the middle atmosphere, and a mechanistic interpretation of stratospheric tracer transport. Consideration is given to the general circulation of Venus, and Jovian and comparative atmospheric modeling. Also discussed are the modeling of ocean circulation, tropical oceanography, the simulation of mesoscale ocean variability in midlatitude gyres, modeling circulation and mixing in estuaries and coastal oceans, and the modeling of sea-ice dynamics.
