The dynamical nature of atmospheric disturbances in
the Southern Hemisphere simulated by a two-level general
circulation (GCM) model is studied. Time series of the
dependent variables and diabatic heating components from
10 Southern Hemisphere winters (JJA) and summers (DJF)
simulated by the Oregon State University two-level GCM are
used. The...
Numerical simulation of the January and July global
climate with the OSU two-level atmospheric general circulation
model has generated time series of the global
distribution of selected climatic variables. Analyses of
these data for the kinetic energy and available potential
energy based on 31-day time mean statistics have been
made...
A simple atmosphere and ocean model of relevance to El Nino
and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is discussed. Both the
atmosphere and ocean models are two layer, three
dimensional, linear and baroclinic, and generally follow
the Oregon State University coupled general circulation
model. However, the parameterization differs considerably
from previous work...
The Himalaya are the geologic manifestation of continental collision,
and in northern Pakistan the Main Mantle thrust (MMT) is a major suture along
which the collision occurred. A newly recognized basement uplift near
Besham village in southern Kohistan, adjacent to the MMT, is bounded on the
east and west by...
