A key factor limiting the reliability of simulations of anthropogenic climate change is the inability to accurately represent the various effects of clouds on climate. Despite the best efforts of t...
A Potential Enstrophy and Energy Conserving Scheme for the Shallow Water Equations
- A. Arakawa, V. Lamb
- Environmental Science, Physics
- 1981
Abstract To improve the simulation of nonlinear aspects of the flow over steep topography, a potential enstrophy and energy conserving scheme for the shallow water equations is derived. It is pointed…

An edited version is reported of notes distributed at the Summer Workshop on the UCLA General Circulation Model in June 1971. It presents the computational schemes of the UCLA model, along with the…
Peruvian stratus clouds and the tropical Pacific circulation
- C. Ma, C. Mechoso, A. Robertson, A. Arakawa
- Environmental Science
- 1 July 1996
Abstract Extensive and persistent stratus cloud decks are prominent climatic features off the Peruvian coast. They are believed to play a key role in the coupled atmosphere-ocean processes that…
