A COMPUTATIONAL STUDY OF THE IN FLUENCE OF HORIZONTAL NON-UNIFORMITY OF THE TEMPERATURE AND NON-SPHERICITY OF THE EARTH ON THE GLOBAL CIRCULATION OF THE MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE
A mathematical model of the global neutral wind system of the Earths atmosphere, developed earlier, is applied to investigate mechanisms responsible for the formation of the planetary circulation of the middle atmosphere. The simulation results indicate that the horizontal irregularity of the atmospheric temperature and non-sphericity of the Earth ought to influence appreciably on the global atmosphere circulation.
