Abstract
An empirical orthogonal analysis method for analysing fourβdimensional geophysical data is derived. The potential utility of this method is illustrated in a sample analysis of the latent heating rates generated by the UCLA atmospheric general circulation climate model. In this example the four dominant eigenfunctions, which explain more than 64% of the total variance, are illustrated. The results show vertical structures, spatial patterns, and time variations that are consistent with a previous diagnosis of the UCLA model heating rates and observed climatology. Possible limitations of this methodology are discussed.

## Abstract Mean monthly 700 mb geopotential anomaly fields over the Asiatic region for the four summer monsoon months June to September based on 15 years data (1964 to 1978) have been analysed through an empirical orthogonal functions technique. The analysis shows that the first five dominant func
This paper compares the shoreline responses immediately shoreward of two adjacent schemes of segmented shore parallel rubble mound breakwaters undergoing the same forcing by waves and tides. Scheme one consists of four longer, emergent breakwaters that have produced tidal tombolos in their lee. Sche
