• A Spectral Stochastic Kinetic Energy Backscatter Scheme and Its Impact on Flow-Dependent Predictability in the ECMWF Ensemble Prediction System (2009, background): “(A1) The change in total kinetic energy is expressed in terms of spherical harmonics and takes the spherical symmetry into account (e.g., Koshyk and Hamilton 2001).”
• An overview of the past, present and future of gravity‐wave drag parametrization for numerical climate and weather prediction models (2003, background): “Much of the increased spatio-temporal variability in high-resolution models is produced by explicitly resolved long wavelength gravity waves, particularly above the tropopause (Koshyk and Hamilton, 2001; Section 7).”
• Scale interactions on diurnal toseasonal timescales and their relevanceto model systematic errors (2003, methodology): “…has been confirmed in an analysis of data from the Tropical Oceans-Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA-COARE) by Liberti et al. (2001), who showed that the signal of the diurnal cycle over New Guinea could be detected in the wind and cloud fields up to 600 km…”
• The energy cascade in a strongly stratified fluid (2006, background): “Koshyk & Hamilton (2001) have performed high-resolution general circulation model simulations exhibiting a quite realistic mesoscale spectrum.”
• Mesoscale spectrum of atmospheric motions investigated in a very fine resolution global general circulation model (2008, background): “ Koshyk and Hamilton [2001] (hereinafter KH) examined the spectra in the upper troposphere in a version of the GFDL SKYHI model.”
• Global Gravity Wave Variances from Aura MLS: Characteristics and Interpretation (2008, background): “Because stratospheric GWs show larger temperature variances at long horizontal wavelengths (e.g., Bacmeister et al. 1996; Koshyk and Hamilton 2001; Wu 2001), a longer truncation length should yield larger GW variance values.”
• Evaluating Mesoscale NWP Models Using Kinetic Energy Spectra (2004, methodology): “Examination of global model spectra by Koshyk and Hamilton (2001) and the structure function analyses of Lindborg (1999) and Lindborg and Cho (2001) support the existence of the enstrophy inertial range.”
• WHOLE ATMOSPHERE MODELING: CONNECTING TERRESTRIAL AND SPACE WEATHER (2011, background): “[57] Middle‐atmosphere observations and high‐resolution simulations reveal power spectra of kinetic energy steepening with altitude at progressively smaller m and flattening at larger k [e.g., Smith et al., 1987; Koshyk and Hamilton, 2001; Hamilton et al., 2008].”
