Anomalies of mean monthly air temperature at 50 surface stations in the contiguous United States during the winter months of January, February and March from 1951 to 1980 are statistically screened as functions of earlier, centered or future time means…

Components of the thermotopographic wind regime in the Mexico City basin are examined in their interaction with the heat island induced centripetal circulation. The resulting wind regime is such that convergent surface flow over the city is predominant mainly during…

Smith's (1969) analytical absorption spectrum of the atmosphere is incorporated in a thermodynamic model. This radiative formulation is applied to the infrared region. It computes separately the absorptivity by carbon dioxide and by water vapor, with a high wave length…

Two numerical experiments were performed with a simple energy balance climate model. One is for a global ocean planet and the other one is for a wet land planet. It was found that the tropical rainbelt maximum migrates, for a…

We present the results of a study of the dimming-brightening phenomena in the Wider Caribbean. The dataset consisted of time series of global radiation from 30 surface stations covering the period 1961-1990. The stations were distributed over the entire region:…

The ejecta ofvolcanism, including gas-to-particle conversions, form atmospheric aerosol layers which influence the radiation processes and in consequence the climate. Thereby, the major explosive eruptions are of predominant interest. They cause stratospheric warmings whereas the atmospheric boundary layer near surface…
