Zhang, Qiuying (2022-04-14)Decadal variations of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) play a key role in decadal climate predictions. Previous studies suggest that forced ocean — sea-ice (FOSI) model simulations, which can represent ...
-
Coates, David A (2021-04-28)Moist processes can produce kinetic energy at subsynoptic scales, traditionally regarded as part of the -5/3 inertial subrange. Atmospheric kinetic energy cascades to both smaller and larger scales, so moist dynamics at ...
-
Yu, Xiao (2022-01-04)The dissertation seeks to elucidate the interaction of Amazon Plume Barrier Layer (BL) with hurricanes using a combination of observational analysis and high-resolution regional coupled model simulations. Firstly, multiple ...
-
Forinash, Eric Matthew (2019-11-20)The effect of SST mesoscale variability on the dynamics of the North Pacific Jet Stream and Storm track is investigated based on simulations with a global atmospheric circulation model coupled to a slab ocean model. The ...
-
Lyu, Meng (2022-07-29)As an integral component of the Earth system, the exchange of momentum at air-sea interface plays an important role in connecting the ocean and atmosphere. Thus, the parameterization for air-sea fluxes is essential for ...
-
Bradley, Kelley A (2015-05-05)A 56-member ensemble of ocean reanalyses is used to explore strong El Niño events in two 5-year periods, 1916 to 1920 and 1996 to 2000, that have markedly different quantities of observations. To generate the 56 forcing ...
-
Hsu, Wei-Ching (2018-07-26)Tropical cyclones (TCs) are one of the most impactful natural hazards to people’s life and economy, and improving forecast and future projection of TCs is one of the most important areas for the weather and climate research ...
-
Barrier Layers of the Atlantic Warm Pool: Formation Mechanism and Influence on Weather and Climate Balaguru, Karthik (2011-08-08)The aim of this research is to study the formation mechanism of Barrier Layers (BL) in the western tropical Atlantic and their influence on the tropical Atlantic climate at both short and long timescales. Many Coupled ...

Martin, Elinor Ruth (2012-10-19)A census of 24 coupled (CMIP) and 13 uncoupled (AMIP) models from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) fourth assessment report (AR4) were compared with observations and reanalysis to show varied ability ...
-
Fu, Dan (2018-06-13)Hurricane Patricia in 2015 was the second-strongest tropical cyclone on record worldwide, with a maximum surface wind speed of 215 mph (~ 96m s-1). Although Patricia fortuitously spared major cities, it reminded us of the ...
-
Kinney, Nichole 1987- (2012-08-21)With increasing computational power, simulations of regional climate are now becoming possible on convective-resolving grids, thus eliminating the need for a convective parameterization. In the present study, a series of ...
-
Fang, Yue (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)To investigate the tropical Atlantic response to the remote El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forcing, a Reduced Physics – Coupled Global Circulation Model (RP-CGCM) is developed, and four experiments are carried out. ...
-
Tang, Guanglin (2015-07-24)In this dissertation we study the high-to-low latitude teleconnection during Younger Dryas-like abrupt climate events using models. The teleconnection considered here is between climate change induced by a freshwater input ...
-
Verma, Abhishek (2012-02-14)Clear-sky top-of-atmosphere (TOA) fluxes are important in estimating the impact of clouds on our climate. In this study, we quantitatively compare the clear-sky fluxes measurements of the Clouds and the Earths Radiant ...

Chen, Biao (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Although there is only a single zonally averaged tropospheric jet in observations of the Northern Hemisphere, two separated tropospheric jets are observed in the Southern Hemisphere winter. An attem pt is made in this ...
-
Siu, Leong Wai (2020-01-08)During the boreal warm season (May through September), the circulation in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere is dominated by two large anticyclones: the Asian monsoon anticyclone (AMA) and North American monsoon ...
-
Wan, Xiuquan (2010-01-14)The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) changes on tropical coupled ocean-atmosphere system via oceanic and atmospheric processes. A suite of numerical ...
-
Ray, Sulagna (2012-02-14)The variation of El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events from the mid-nineteenth century until the beginning of the twenty-first century is explored using an ocean reanalysis. Decadal variability and trends in the ...

Liu, Xue (2018-06-13)As resolution of observations and climate models continues to improve, it has become increasingly evident that mesoscale eddies – a ubiquitous feature of the world ocean – can interact with the overlying atmosphere, ...
