Publisher's Synopsis
Support from the NASA Global Modeling and Analysis Program has been used for the following research objectives: 1) the study of aspects of dynamics of torques and angular momentum based on the Goddard GEOS and other analyses; 2) the study of how models participating in the second Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP-2) have success in simulating certain large-scale quantities; 3) the study of the energetics and momentum cycle from certain runs from the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres and other models as well; 4) the assessment of changes in diabatic heating and related energetics in the community climate model (CCM3); 5) the analysis of modes of climate of the atmosphere, especially the Arctic and North Atlantic Oscillations. Further information on these endeavors will be provided in published works and the Final Report of the project.Salstein, David and Nelson, Peter and Hu, Wen-JieGoddard Space Flight CenterATMOSPHERIC MODELS; DATA SYSTEMS; EARTH ATMOSPHERE; EARTH OBSERVATIONS (FROM SPACE); ANGULAR MOMENTUM; ARCTIC REGIONS; ATLANTIC OCEAN; CLIMATE; CLIMATE MODELS; HEATING; MOMENTUM; OSCILLATIONS; TORQUE...
