Using regional climate Model version 4.6, two sets of numerical experiments were designed
to investigate the response of atmospheric circulation to symmetric sea surface temperature …

To bridge quasi-geostrophic dynamics and its discrete representation by a series of
piecewise constant potential vorticity (PV), the dispersion relation for the Rossby wave in the …

The formation and stability of a slowly evolving zonal jet in 2-D flow with beta effect is
analyzed using the model developed by Manfroi and Young in which the final governing …

Oil sands reservoirs in Western Canada are among the largest petroleum accumulations in
the world. Given the high viscosity of the oil, typically in the hundreds of thousands to …

This thesis examines the dynamical evolution of stratospheric polar vortex on intraseasonal
time scale. An emphasis is placed on extreme events, so-called stratospheric vortex …
