Contents: Foreword. - Preface. - PART I. HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION. - Global scale circulations: a review. - PART II. OBSERVATIONS. - The life cycles of persistent anaomalies and blocking over the North Pacific. - On atmospheric blocking types and blocking numbers. - Observational characteristics of atmospheric planetary waves with bimodal amplitude distributions. - A case study of eddy forcing during an Atlantic Blocking Episode. - PART III. THEORY. - The effect of local baroclinic instability on zonal inhomogenities of vorticity and temperature. - Forcing of planetary-scale blocking anticyclones by synoptic-scale eddies. - Deterministic and statistical properties of Northern Hemisphere, middle latitude circulation: minimal theoretical models. - Probability density distribution of large-scale atmospheric flow. - Stationary planetary waves, blocking, and interannual variability. - PART IV. NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTS. - Instability theory and nonlinear evolution of blocks and mature anomalies. - Numerical prediction: some results from operational forecasting at ECMWF. - Envelope orography and maintenance of the quasi-stationary circulation in the ECMWF global models. - Numerical forecasts of tropospheric and stratospheric events during the winter of 1979: sensitivity to the model's horizontal resolution and vertical extent. - Mechanistic experiments to determine the origin of short-scale Southern Hemisphere Stationary Rossby Waves. - SST Anomalies and blocking. - Index
