Cold Events over Southern Australia: Synoptic Climatology and Hemispheric Structure

Synoptic Climatology: An Overview

Abrupt surface drying and fire weather Part 2: a preliminary synoptic climatology in the forested areas of southern Australia

Dramatic lowering of the humidity at the surface was observed at Canberra Airport and at Port Lincoln Airport AWS respectively during two recent Australian extreme fire weather events, that of the Canberra fires of 18 January 2003, and that of the lower Eyre Peninsula fires of 11 January 2005. These events have been described in more detail in Mills (2005a) and in a companion paper (Mills 2008)...

climatology ofcyclones and theirtracking over southern coasts ofcaspian sea

the southern coasts of caspian sea is subjected to synoptic/mesoscale weather systemsranging from locally enhanced sea breeze formation and small local front systems to synoptic scale cyclones.this study presents climatology of cyclones over the southern coasts of caspian sea covering a ten year period1996-2005. altogether 57 cyclones were formed during the ten year period. anoticeable seasonal...

A synoptic-climatology approach to increase the skill of numerical weather predictions over Iran

Simplifications used in regional climate models decrease the accuracy of the regional climate models. To overcome this deficiency, usually a statistical technique of MOS is used to improve the skill of gridded outputs of the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. In this paper, an experimental synoptic-climatology based method has been used to calibrate, and decrease amount of errors in GFS...
