Avalanche extremes and atmospheric circulation patterns

Influence of atmospheric circulation patterns on dust transport during Harmattan Period in West Africa

This study has used TOMS AI as well as the reanalysis dataset of thirty-four years (1979-2012) to investigate the influence of atmospheric circulation on dust transport during the Harmattan period in West Africa, using Aerosol Index (AI) data, obtained from various satellite sensors. Changes in Inter-Tropical Discontinuity (ITD), Sea Surface Temperature (SST) over the Gulf of Guinea, and North ...

Atmospheric Circulation Patterns and Spatial Climatic Variations in Beringia

Analyses of more than 40 years of climatic data reveal intriguing spatial variations in climatic patterns for Beringia (North-eastern Siberia and Alaska), aiding the understanding of the hierarchy of climatic controls that operate at different spatial scales within the Arctic. A synoptic climatology, using a subjective classification methodology on January and July sea level pressure, and July ...

Summer temperature extremes in northeastern Spain : spatial 1 regionalization and links to atmospheric circulation ( 1960 - 2006 )

8 A procedure for classifying daily summer temperature extremes in northeastern Spain 9 into homogenous regions has been presented and evaluated. This procedure employed daily 10 temperature series from a dense network of 128 weather stations spanning the period from 11 1960 to 2006. Characteristics of temperature extremes included temperature frequency (e.g. 12 warm days), intensity (e.g. warm...
