Abstract
The structure of an artificial depression which developed during a long numerical integration is examined and it is shown that many of the features of a real depression are reproduced.

African easterly waves are an important part of the tropical climate, impacting on daily rainfall patterns as well as being the precursors for most Atlantic hurricanes. Despite their importance, the interannual variability of these waves is not well known or understood. This study shows that a gener
## Abstract A representation of an ‘Ekman’ type of boundary layer (assumed to extend from 1,000 mb to 900 mb) is inserted into a two‐level, quasi‐geostrophic, general circulation numerical model. An approximate time‐dependent analytic solution of this boundary layer is matched to the ‘free atmosphe
## Abstract Numerical experiments with a two‐level, quasi‐geostrophic model, described by Davies and Davies (1969), have been extended in several ways; the grid spacing of the previous model has been halved, greatly reducing numerical errors, and the lateral East‐West span of the flow domain is muc
## Abstract Angular momentum transports due to mean meridional circulations and horizontal exchange processes are computed for a theoretical model. It is found that, in high latitudes, the transport due to mean meridional circulations is less than 1 per cent of that due to horizontal exchange proce
## Abstract In this study, an attempt is made to evaluate winter precipitation data derived from the general circulation model (GCM)—HadAM3P (atmospherical circulation model—Hadley Center) and from the National Center for Environmental Prediction–National Center of Atmospheric Research (NCEP–NCAR)
