The influence of the earth's rotation rate on the general circulation of the atmosphere.

Abstract

A general circulation model has been used to investigate the climatic and dynamical consequences of increasing and decreasing the rotation rate of the earth by a factor of 5. The model was hemispheric, devoid of topographical features, non-diurnal, and set up for annual mean conditions based on fixed, specified cloud, ozone, water vapor and surface albedo. - from Author
