4 The problem of understanding linear predictability of elements of the ocean circulation is 5 explored in the Atlantic Ocean for two disparate elements: (1) sea surface temperature (SST) 6 under the storm track in a small region east of the Grand Banks and, (2) the meridional 7 overturning circulation north of 30.5◦S. To be worthwhile, any nonlinear method would need 8 to exhibit greater skill...

Altitude profiles of temperature in the stratosphere and lower mesosphere over Gadanki (13.5 N, 79.2 E), based on lidar observations during the Equatorial Wave Study campaign (29 February–2 April 2000), showed an anomalous cooling of the stratosphere, lasting for about 4– 5 days. Immediately following this stratospheric cooling, a prominent ∼4-day period oscillation is observed in the zonal, as...

There are successful approaches to explain the formation of the tachocline by a poloidal magnetic field in the solar core. We present here the first MHD simulations of the solar tachocline which self-consistently include the meridional circulation. We show that the meridional flow significantly changes the shape and the characteristics of the tachocline. We find that after the inclusion of the ...

[1] Data Interpolating Empirical Orthogonal Functions (DINEOFs) are a data-based method for determining a few orthogonal basis functions that optimally reproduce a given data set. This technique is applied to meridional drift measurements performed by the Coupled Ion Neutral Dynamics Investigation (CINDI) onboard the Communication/Navigation Outage Forecasting System (C/NOFS) as well as electro...

The problem of understanding linear predictability of elements of the ocean circulation is explored in the Atlantic Ocean for two disparate elements: (1) sea surface temperature (SST) under the storm track in a small region east of the Grand Banks and, (2) the meridional overturning circulation north of 30.51S. To be worthwhile, any nonlinear method would need to exhibit greater skill, and so a...

Under a common potential, a finite mixture of ellipsoidal velocity distributions satisfying the Boltzmann collisionless equation provides a set of integrability conditions that may constrain the population kinematics. They are referred to as conditions of consistency and were discussed in a previous paper on mixtures of axisymmetric populations. As a corollary, these conditions are now extended...

The meridional component of the earth's rotation is often neglected in geophysical contexts. This referred to as `traditional approximation' and justified by typically small vertical velocity aspect ratio such problems. Ocean fronts are regions strong horizontal buoyancy gradient associated with transport tracers nutrients. Given these comparatively large velocities, non-traditional may play a ...

On the effect of the inhomogeneous subsurface flows on the high degree solar p-modes Abstract. The observed power spectrum of high-degree solar p-modes (ℓ > 200) shows discrepancies with the power spectrum predicted by the stochastic excitement and damping theory. In an attempt to explain these discrepancies, the present paper is concerned with the influence of the observed subsurface flows on ...

Hypertrophy of the left ventricle may be associated with altered left ventricular filling dynamics. To test whether isometric and isotonic training affect left ventricular filling differently at rest and during isometric stress, 38 males, 13 long distance runners, eight weight-lifters, eight hypertensive patients and nine age-matched healthy male controls with a mean age of 30 +/- 7 years, were...
