Comments on "The Role of the Central Asian Mountains on the Midwinter Suppression of North Pacific Storminess" - Reply
We thank Chang and Lin for their thoughtful and
constructive comments on our study (Park et al. 2010).
In Park et al. (2010), we did not explicitly state that the
topography-forced stationary waves are the direct cause
for the reduced downstream transient eddy kinetic energy
(EKE). The response of stationary waves to topography
may saturate even with a relatively small mountain (Cook
and Held 1992); furthermore, their magnitudes are much
smaller than thermally forced stationary waves (Chang
2009; Held et al. 2002). Instead, we suggest that quasistationary waves generated by the central Asian mountains may strongly affect North Pacific storminess by
changing the year-to-year variability of westerly winds
over the eastern Eurasian continent. Observational analyses
indicate that the midwinter suppression of North
Pacific storminess does not occur every year. Some years
experience stronger and more meridionally confined
zonal winds over the western North Pacific, leading to
stronger midwinter suppression (Harnik and Chang
2004; Nakamura and Sampe 2002)
A Note on Heterotic Dualities via M-theory
We show that a class of torsional compactifications of the heterotic string
are dual to conventional Kahler heterotic string compactifications. This
observation follows from the recently proposed analogue of the c-map for the
heterotic string.Comment: 10 pages; references added; minor wording chang

An Input Output Study for The Omaha SMSA
This study is an extension and refinement of a previous report on the Omaha Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) by Perry P. Chang. The present study makes three major changes in Chang\u27s report, in that it obtains output and value added of industries in the Omaha area, exports and imports of the industries, certain income multipliers, forecasts of output in the Omaha area. for 1975 and 1990, and compares the three results with Chang\u27s
