Seasonal differences in the stationary response of a linearized primitive equation model: prospects for long-range weather forecasting?

Abstract

A linear steady-state primitive equation model has been developed for the computation of stationary atmospheric waves that are forced by anomalies in surface conditions. The response of the model indicates that a heating in the tropics can have a substantial influence on the middle and high latitudes, provided that part of the heating is in the westerlies.-from Authors
