Wild animals are captured or taken opportunistically, and the meat, body parts, and/or eggs consumed for local subsistence used traditional purposes to some extent across most of world, particularly in tropics subtropics. The consumption aquatic is widespread, places has been sustained millennia, can be an important source nutrition, income, cultural identity communities. Yet, economic opportun...

The spatial variations in the probability density functions (PDFs) of relative humidity (RH) in the tropical and subtropical troposphere are examined using observations from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) instruments together with a simple statistical model. The model, a generalization of that proposed by Sherwood et al., assumes the RH is determine...

Rossby Wave Chromatography (RWC) is implemented in a linearized barotropic model as a tool to understand the interaction between the mid-latitude jet and the eddy momentum fluxes (UV) in an idealized GCM. Given the background zonal-mean flow and the space-time structure of the baroclinic wave activity source, RWC calculates the space-time structure of the upper tropospheric UV. It is found that...

Based on nonlinear prediction and information theory, vertical heterogeneity of predictability and information loss rate in geopotential height filed was obtained over the Northern Hemisphere. In seasonal to interannual time scales, the predictability is low in lower troposphere and high in mid-upper troposphere. But within mid-upper troposphere over the subtropics in some ocean area there is a...

[1] We have analyzed observations of clear-sky top-of-atmosphere outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) measured by the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES). These measurements were obtained during March 2005 at night and over the ocean and cover latitudes from 70 N to 70 S. First, we compare the OLR measurements to OLR calculated from two radiative transfer models. The models use as...
