Atmospheric patterns for heavy rain events in the Balearic Islands
The Balearic Islands, as well as other Mediterranean regions, are occasionally affected by heavy rain events, which can produce numerous damages. This study contributes to improve the understanding of the dynamical mechanisms that produce heavy rain events by means of a classification of their related atmospheric patterns. Heavy rainfall dataset for the Balearic Islands and some gridded atmosph...
متن کاملGrand challenges in atmospheric science
As a subject of study, the atmospheric sciences encompass all the processes that occur in the atmosphere, together with its links with other systems, mainly the hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, and outer space. As such it is an extensive discipline and the task of describing the main challenges is not an easy one, and entails a fair degree of overlap with some of the other grand...
متن کاملThe Frequency of Extreme Rain Events in Satellite Rain-Rate Estimates and an Atmospheric General Circulation Model
The frequency distributions of surface rain rate are evaluated in the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) satellite observations and the NOAA/GFDL global atmosphere model version 2 (AM2). Instantaneous satellite rain-rate observations averaged over the 2.5° latitude 2° longitude model grid are shown to be representative of the half-hour rain ra...
متن کاملEnchilada: Data Mining Software for Atmospheric Science
Enchilada (Environmental Chemistry through Intelligent Atmospheric Data Analysis) is a software system in development that enables data mining on atmospheric data. Enchilada enables the analysis of atmospheric mass spectra and time series by providing a variety of data mining and visualization tools. Data in Enchilada can come from a variety of sources. To date, the project has focused heavily ...
متن کاملWork output of planetary atmospheric engines: dissipation in clouds and rain
[1] We compute the dissipation due to the drag of falling raindrops and cloud droplets, and find both to be significant sources of dissipation on Earth and possibly Titan. On other planets, they appear to be insignificant. We compare this dissipation with the latent heat transported by the drops and the thermodynamic efficiency with which it can be converted into work. This comparison suggests ...
