torque/ global atmospheric circulationatmospheric dynamicsangular momentum equationsocean-atmosphere interactionsolid Earth-atmosphere interaction[1] Angular momentum is a variable of central importance to the dynamics of the atmosphere both regionally and globally. Moreover, the angular momentum equations yield...
Lorenz provided the first modern picture of the mechanical energies and their conversions for the global atmo- sphere1, which is called the Lorenz energy cycle. Such an energy cycle can help diagnose the atmospheric dynamics and general circulation, which is widely used in the studies of the ...
Atmospheric tides induced in a global atmospheric general circulation model in January are analyzed. The model produces detailed structure in the thermal forcings of diurnal and semi-diurnal modes within the planetary boundary layer (PBL) in the subtropics and within the mid-troposphere in the tropic...
which have been widely used since the 1970s. During the 1990s, unprecedented coverage of the global ocean using high-quality hydrographic sections was achieved as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment30(WOCE). Subsequently,
Ocean-colour satellites, which measure the amount of light radiating from the ocean and atmosphere from Earth’s surface, have been collecting global measurements for decades. A great deal of research has focused on detecting long-term trends in ocean-colour data, particularly in chlorophyll a (...
The interannual variability of dust weather frequency(DWF) in Beijing and its global atmospheric circulation are examined based on the correlation and composite analysis methods in this paper.The results indicate that interannual variability of DWF is do
The second major circulation change is alteration in global teleconnections such asEl Niño. There are several of these variable atmospheric–oceanic circulation patterns, including El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), theNorth Atlantic Oscillation(NAO), and theAtmospheric CirculationIndex (ACI). All...
He noted that extreme weather events have occurred globally this summer, including high temperatures in North America and flooding in Europe, which are direct manifestations of the abnormal global atmospheric circulation. Global warming intensifies the instability of the climate system, which is an ...
Long-Term Changes in Rainfall over Eastern China and Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation Associated with Recent Global Warming Using precipitation data from rain gauge stations over China, the authors examine the long-term variation of the durations of persistent rainfall over east...

However, nearly everything we have any confidence in when it comes to climate change is related to global patterns of surface temperature, which are primarily controlled by thermodynamics. In contrast, we have much less confidence in atmospheric circulation aspects of climate change, which are ...
