Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

This review points out features in the annual curves of some climate elements on the Southern Hemisphere which differ from their counterpart on the Northern Hemisphere. Among the topics are the effect on the surface air temperature of the different proportions of land and water at corresponding latitudes, including the decreasing annual temperature range with increasing latitude in the temperature regions of the Southern Hemisphere which is found only in limited open-ocean areas on the Northern Hemisphere.The change of sea level mean pressure in middle and high south latitudes through the year is dominated by a semi-annual wave which changes phase near 60°S from equinoctial maxima in the north to solstitial maxima in the south. A dominant semi-annual wave in the wind and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is associated with the pressure wave. On the Northern Hemisphere the large land masses in middle and high latitudes impose an overwhelming mean annual wave on the circulation, although locally there are appreciable semi-annual components.
