THE GENERAL CIRCULATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE* [PDF]

open access: possibleWeather, 1958
Meteorology is one of the observational sciences, meaning that its data are " given. " But imagination is necessary to know what data are likely to be interesting, ingenuity is required to extract them from the system we study, and substantial material resources may be needed to obtain a representative set. Thus, whereas superficially the system may be

Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics: Fundamentals and Large-Scale Circulation

, 2017
The atmosphere and ocean are two of the most important components of the climate system, and fluid dynamics is central to our understanding of both. This book provides a unified and comprehensive treatment of the field that blends classical results with ...

The atmospheric circulation

2005
Overview Some aspects of the atmospheric circulation were introduced in Chapters 2 and 3. The present chapter begins by providing a historical perspective. We then make extensive use of data from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis to provide a “top down” perspective, starting with the stratosphere and moving to the tropopause, troposphere and the surface.

Reconstructing the Physics and Circulation of the Atmosphere

2020
The variability and evolution of the physical parameters of atmospheric circulation are currently monitored in real time and on a global scale thanks to a dense network of weather stations and to satellite observations of the Earth. But the time span of these observations is relatively short as compared to the time characteristics of the processes at ...

General Circulation of the Atmosphere

2020
There are two basic factors that determine the general circulation of the Earth’s atmosphere: the latitudinal change of energy received by the Earth-atmosphere system from the Sun and the corresponding global distribution of angular momentum of the atmosphere (Satoh 2014). Air circulation over the Earth is mainly due to non-equal heating of the Earth’s

General Circulation of the Atmosphere

2021
The “general circulation” refers to the broadscale, mean preferred circulation of the atmosphere. Heating near the Equator causes air to rise, producing a thermally induced low pressure belt near the Equator. This initiates a pressure gradient force that pulls near-surface air from both the Northern and Southern hemispheres toward the Equator ...

Atmospheric Circulation and Climate [PDF]

open access: possible, 2012
Earth’s atmosphere, made up essentially of the gases that surround our planet, consists of circulation patterns that move air from one place to another and from the surface to higher elevations. There are lateral and vertical ways to force air to move and these are explained in this chapter.

Responses of the Tropical Atmospheric Circulation to Climate Change and Connection to the Hydrological Cycle

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Science, 2016
This review describes the climate change–induced responses of the tropical atmospheric circulation and their impacts on the hydrological cycle. We depict the theoretically predicted changes and diagnose physical mechanisms for observational and model ...
