Time Evolution of the Precipitation Distribution in Experiment S1380
The characteristic features of the results of Experiment S1380
are that 1) eastward propagating disturbances that probably have
their origin in the baroclinic instabilities exist in the
mid-latitudes and 2) vortex disturbances sometimes migrate from the
equatorial region to mid- and high latitudes. The disturbances that
migrate into mid- and high latitudes from the equator are not always
present, and it can be presumed that most of the precipitation near
40° latitude north and south is caused by baroclinic disturbances.

distribution (W/m2) in Experiment S1380. The animation
illustrates the time evolution for a 16-day period in conditions
that are considered to be nearly in equilibrium.
