Climatological features of blocking anticyclones: a study of Northern Hemisphere CCM1 model blocking events in present-day and double CO2 concentration atmospheres
(Springer-Verlag, 1997)
Using output made with the National Center
for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model Version 1 (CCM1), the characteristics of blocking events over the Northern Hemisphere in a ten-year present
day control ...
Climatological Features of blocking anticyclones in the Northern Hemisphere
(Munksgaard, 1994)
Blocking anticyclones have long been of interest to the atmospheric science community because of their profound effect on local and regional climates. Previous climatologies of blocking anticyclones have been performed ...
A Diagnosis of the Explosive Development of Two Extratropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 1992-08)
This paper examines the 24-h explosive development periods of two extratropical cyclones, the first occurring over the Gulf Stream off the coast of New England from 18 to 19 January 1979 and the second occurring over the ...
An Analysis of a Relatively Rare Case of Continental Blocking
(Jon Wiley and Sons, 1999-01)
A planetary and synoptic-scale analysis of a relatively rare continental blocking event that occurred over North America during the spring of 1980 are undertaken to determine whether or not this event was different from ...
A Diagnosis of Two Blocking Events That Occurred Simultaneously in the Midlatitude Northern Hemisphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1997-08)
Using the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres Goddard Earth Observing System-1 analyses, the horizontal distribution of atmospheric forcing processes involved in the growth, maintenance, and decay of two Northern
Hemisphere ...
The Interactions between a Midlatitude Blocking Anticyclone and Synoptic-Scale Cyclones That Occurred during the Summer Season
(American Meteorological Society, 1998-02)
Using the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres Goddard Earth Observing System 5-yr analysis and the Zwack-Okossi equation as the diagnostic tool, the horizontal distribution of the dynamic and thermodynamic forcing processes ...
The diagnosis of a pre-blocking explosively-developing extratropical cyclone system
(Munksgaard, 1992-05)
This paper presents the diagnosis of an extratropical cyclone that developed explosively from 18 to 19 January 1979 over the North Atlantic Ocean. The diagnosis applies data obtained from the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres ...
Planetary and synoptic-scale interactions during the life cycle of a mid-latitude blocking anticyclone over the North Atlantic
(Munksgaard, 1995-10)
The formation of a blocking anticyclone over the North Atlantic has been examined over its entire life-cycle using the Zwack-Okossi (Z-O) equation as the diagnostic tool. This blocking anticyclone occurred in late October ...
A Diagnosis of the development of a Winter Anticyclone over North America
(American Meteorological Society, 1995-08)
This paper examines the 48-h life cycle of a winter anticyclone occurring over North America from 18 to 20 January 1979 using Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres FGGE level IIIb (SOP 1) global analyses on a 4° latitude by ...
