## Abstract Autoregressive time series models are used to make forecasts of stratospheric zonal wind and temperature at Kwajalein Island near the equator in the northern Pacific Ocean. The tropical stratosphere is dominated by the quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO). Because the QBO has a varying peri

## Abstract A survey of the zonal wind throughout the troposphere and the lower stratosphere near the equator is made for the 41 year period of 1958–98. A similar survey of the 500 hPa geopotential height, sea‐surface temperature (SST) and tropopause height is also made, except that the survey peri
## Abstract The interannual and annual variations in the intra‐seasonal oscillation (ISO) are examined using upper air radiosonde data at Singapore. Spectral analysis of the zonal wind using the maximum entropy method (MEM) was made for each season, starting from the autumn of 1960 through to 1985.
## Abstract An assessment is made using simple diffusion theory of the rate of adjustment of profiles and eddy fluxes for (a), the leading‐edge case as a function of distance and (b), the horizontally uniform case as a function of time. The solutions of the appropriate diffusion equations obtained
## Abstract This paper addresses the impact of the Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation (QBO) on the background‐error covariances in the tropical atmosphere of the ECMWF model. The tropical short‐range‐forecast‐error covariances are represented in terms of equatorial waves coupled to convection. By comparin
