Dynamical coupling of the lower and middle atmosphere: historical background to current research.
| Hamilton, K. P., 1999: Dynamical coupling of the lower and middle atmosphere: historical background to current research. Journal of Atmospheric & Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 61(1-2), 73-84. |
| Abstract: The role of both gravity waves and planetary waves in coupling the circulation in the middle atmosphere with that in the troposphere is now well appreciated. The present article reviews the history of the study of middle atmospheric dynamics and its coupling with the lower atmosphere. The emphasis is on early developments, principally those before the mid-1970's. |
