## Abstract Motivated by recent developments in tropicalโcyclone dynamics, this paper reโexamines a basic aspect of tropicalโcyclone behaviour, namely, the sensitivity of tropicalโcyclone models to the surface drag coefficient. Previous theoretical and numerical studies of the sensitivity in axisym

Mesoscale models which can be used to assess wind and turbulent structure in complex terrain are overviewed. The different types of models -diagnostic and prognostic are discussed and the significant physical processes which each can handle realistically are reviewed. Examples of specific applicatio
## Abstract This paper presents a study of the climate sensitivity of the mass balance of Morteratschgletscher in Switzerland, estimated from a twoโdimensional mass balance model. Since the albedo scheme chosen is often the largest error source in mass balance models, we investigated the impact of
The effect of cloud cover on surface net radiation is parameterised into simple formulae, which have been fitted to calculated results from a detailed radiation model for various single-layer cloud types. The detailed model uses cloud optical depth information from satellite data analysis as input.
