The Atmospheric General Circulation
2023An engaging, comprehensive, richly illustrated textbook about the atmospheric general circulation, written by leading researchers in the field. The book elucidates the pervasive role of atmospheric dynamics in the Earth System, interprets the structure and evolution of atmospheric motions across a range of space and time scales in terms of fundamental ...

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.

Atmospheric Circulation and Climate
2012Earth’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.

Antarctic Atmospheric Circulation
1951Antarctica’s atmospheric circulation and its causes and effects are major gaps in current meteorological knowledge. Until they are filled, there can be no complete understanding of the weather processes of the earth as a whole, and especially of the radiative balance of the earth’s surface and upper atmosphere and of the mechanics of variations in the ...

Atmospheric General Circulation Modeling
2012This entry provides a brief introduction to the computer models of the atmosphere used for climate studies. The concepts of atmospheric forcing and response are developed and used to highlight the importance of clouds and aerosols to the climate system and the many uncertainties associated with their representation.
