In order to understand the atmospheric branch of the earth's
hydrologic cycle on the global scale, an atmospheric moisture balance
is diagnostically analyzed from the January and July data of the OSU
atmospheric general circulation model, which has been integrated for
thirty-nine months of simulation with seasonally-varying sea-surface
temperature and...
The behavior of different parameterizations of mixed layer physics when used in an oceanic general circulation model (OGCM) having coarse resolution of the upper ocean is examined. The method of parameterization is expected to have an important effect on the resulting sea surface temperature, and hence affect the model's overall...
