Description
Summary:The Climate Project at the National Center for Atmospheric Research held a symposium on analysis and modeling of climate on large spatial scales from 29 November to 2 December 1983 with K. E. Trenberth as chairman. Fourteen of the fifteen papers presented at the symposium appear in this volume. They have not been formally reviewed, so they appear as delivered by the authors. Part 1: Large-Scale Variability in the Tropical Sea Level Pressure Field by T.P. Barnett; Sensitivity of January Climate Response to the Position of Pacific Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies by Maurice L. Blackmon; The Global Distribution of the Annual and Semi-Annual Cycles of Outgoing Long-wave Radiation and 250 mb u-component Winds by J.E. Kutzbach and K.M. Weickmann; The frequency dependence of the structure and evolution of geopotential height fluctuations appearing in a GFDL general circulation model by Ngar-Cheung Lau; Potential for Long-Range Predictability of Northern Hemisphere Temperatures by Roland A. Madden; Soil Moisture, a Simple Mixed Layer Ocean and the Southern Hemisphere Semiannual Oscillation in the NCAR Community Climate Model 1 by Gerald A. Meehl; The Scope of Recent Climate Research in the Observational Studies Group at GFDL by Abraham H. Oort Part 2: A Comparison of the Mean Winter Pressure Distribution in the Extremes of the North Atlantic Oscillation and Southern Oscillation by Jeffery C. Rogers; A Brief Description of Some Data Sets Used by the Empirical Studies Group by Dennis J. Shea; Research In Climate Dynamics by Kevin E. Trenberth; The Effect Of Anomalous Lower Boundary Forcing On The Atmosphere; by H. M. van den Dool; The Southern Oscillation: Prelude on the Southern and Finale on the Northern Hemisphere by Harry van Loon; Snow cover, soil moisture and associated atmospheric variability by John Walsh; Intraseasonal Atmospheric Fluctuations by Klaus H.
