Impact of the sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) on atmospheric circulations are studied with emphasis on the winter climate in Japan with the use of an atmospheric general circulation model. The empirical orthogonal function analyses are performed for precipitation, geopotential height at 500mb and surface air temperature. It is shown that leading eigenvectors of precipitation are zonal...

In this paper, the idealized density current models developed in previous studies that contain a rigid lid are evaluated. It is shown, through numerical experiments, that a realistic stable layer placed at the level of the rigid lid acts very much like a rigid lid, in confining the environmental flow to the levels below and in controlling the behavior of density currents that propagate in the f...

In this paper, numerical models of coastal circulation, wind-waves, and sediment transport are applied to the March 1998 turbidity plume event in Lake Michigan to investigate the role of wind-induced circulation in the offshore transport of sedimentary material in Lake Michigan. Computer visualization is used to compare model results to the evidence of cross-isobath transport suggested in satel...

The mechanisms of changes in the large scale hydrological cycle projected by 15 models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 3 and used for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Report Four are analyzed by computing differences between 2046-65 and 1961-2000. The contributions to changes in precipitation minus evaporation, P − E, caused thermodynamically b...

Ahvaz can be regarded as one of the most polluted cities in the world in terms of air pollution. Successive years of drought and weather conditions in recent years have resulted in particulate matter (PM10) concentration in Ahvaz. In this study, using probability distribution techniques, an appropriate threshold to identify the PM10 maximum extreme concentrations (MEC) has been detected. Based ...

The Princeton Ocean Model is used to study the circulation in the Gulf of Maine and its seasonal transition in response to wind, surface heat flux, river discharge, and the M2 tide. The model has an orthogonal-curvature linear grid in the horizontal with variable spacing from 3 km nearshore to 7 km offshore and 19 levels in the vertical. It is initialized and forced at the open boundary with mo...

The internal flow circulation dynamics of a liquid drop moving in a co- or counter-flowing gas stream has been numerically studied. The present work is concerned with the time accurate numerical solution of the two phase flow field at the low Mach number limit with an appropriate volume tracking method to capture motion and deformation of a liquid drop. It is shown that relative velocity betwee...

Theoretical work and general circulation model (GCM) experiments suggest that themidlatitude jet stream’s interaction with large-scale topography can drive intraseasonal oscillations in large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns. In support of this theory, we present new observational evidence that mountain-induced torques play a key role in 15–30-day oscillations of the Northern Hemisphere c...
