A study of eddy-mean flow interactions using Eliassen-Palm diagnostics: FGGE SOP-1 data and the NASA GLAS general circulation model compared

Latitude-height cross sections of the Eliassen-Palm (ep) flux, its divergence, the residual mean meridional circulation as well as conventional eddy and mean flow fields are computed using both observational and general circulation model data

Dynamical processes in the Arctic atmosphere

This book presents current knowledge on chemistry and physics of Arctic atmosphere. Special attention is given to studies of the Arctic haze phenomenon, Arctic tropospheric clouds, Arctic fog, polar stratospheric and mesospheric clouds, atmospheric dynamics, thermodynamics and radiative transfer as related to the polar environment. The atmosphere-cryosphere feedbacks and atmospheric remote sensing techniques are presented in detail. The problems of climate change in the Arctic are also addressed
