[++] "Lorenz introduced [in the paper offered here] the maximum simplification equations and demonstrated that they could be used to understand certain atmospheric phenomena, such as the index cycle. The dynamical equations were simplified to a point where reasonable predictions of atmospheric conditions could not be expected, however, certain physical processes and features of interest were retained.Lorenz [in this paper] was able to capture many of the qualitative features of the flow including the exchange of kinetic energy between the zonal and meridional components. Motivated by this success, the basic spirit of this ground-breaking work of [this work] namely approximating the solution of complex realistic problems using a low-order model (LOM) has become a standard arsenal in problem solving in geophysical domain."--"Further Analysis of Lorenz's Maximum Simplification Equations", S. Lakshmivarahan et al, Journal Atmospheric Sciences 1 November 2006. [++]The Keeling abstract: "A systematic variation with season and latitude in the concentration and isotopic abundance of atmospheric carbon dioxide has been found in the northern hemisphere. In Antarctica, however, a small but persistent increase in concentration has been found." .
