A simple formalism for the diagnostic use of the feedback and static control portions of the theory is presented. The relation of the subgrid scale flux forms and the detrainment forms of the large-scale heat and moisture budgets is also discussed.

A persistent feature of the atmosphere over the eastern portions of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is the existence of broad areas of stratocumulus convection. These stratocumulus regimes lie to the east of the large semi-permanent subtropical high pressure centers.

Two basic experiments are shown: the first is a perturbation in the geopotential field, and the second is a perturbation in the rotational part of the wind field.

A linearized system of equations for the atmosphere's first internal mode in the vertical is derived.
