s contribution confirms what many had suspected: that the rate of CO 2 emission to the atmosphere from tropical deforestation is substantially larger than what it was in 1980, the year on which previous analyses of the role of tropical deforestation in the global carbon cycle have been based.

## Abstract The impact of a new approach to the evaluation of surface gravity wave drag (GWD) is assessed. This approach uses linear theory, but incorporates the effects of wind profile shear and curvature, by means of a secondβorder WKB approximation. While the theory predicts the possibility of e
## Abstract Recent studies on the Amazon deforestation problem predict that removal of the forest will result in a higher surface temperature, a significant reduction in evaporation and precipitation, and possibly significant changes in the tropical circulation. Here, we discuss the basic mechanism
