Abstract

A global, spectral, primitive equation model is developed to study the seasonal climatology of the large-scale features of the atmosphere. The model resolution is five equally-spaced sigma levels in the vertical and triangular truncation at wavenumber 10 in the horizontal. The model reasonably reproduces the general features of the observed atmospheric circulation, seasonal cycles, interannual variations and hemispheric differences.-from Authors
