The impact of North Atlantic wind and cyclone trends on European precipitation and significant wave height in the Atlantic.
An analysis of the frequency of cyclones and surface wind velocity for the Euro-Atlantic sector is performed by means of an objective methodology. Monthly and seasonal trends of cyclones and wind speed magnitude are computed and trends between 1960 and 2000 evaluated. Results reveal a significant frequency decrease (increase) in the western Mediterranean (Greenland and Scandinavia), particularl...
متن کاملEvolution of North Atlantic ERA40 tropical cyclone representation
[1] The evolving representation of Atlantic tropical cyclones (TCs) in the ERA40 reanalysis dataset from 1957 through 2001 is analyzed using metrics of intensity and the three-dimensional cyclone phase space. On average, TC structural representation within the ERA40 has shifted two Saffir-Simpson (SS) categories over the 45 years. Thus, a category three TC during 1957–1971 is comparable in ERA4...
متن کاملOn Estimates of Historical North Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Activity*
In this study, an estimate of the expected number of Atlantic tropical cyclones (TCs) that were missed by the observing system in the presatellite era (between 1878 and 1965) is developed. The significance of trends in both number and duration since 1878 is assessed and these results are related to estimated changes in sea surface temperature (SST) over the “main development region” (“MDR”). Th...
متن کاملUncertainties in Microwave Properties of Frozen Precipitation: Implications for Remote Sensing and Data Assimilation
A combined active/passive modeling system that converts CloudSat observations to simulated microwave brightness temperatures (TB) is used to assess different ice particle models under precipitating conditions. Simulation results indicate that certain ice models (e.g., low-density spheres) produce excessive scattering and implausibly low simulated TBs for stratiform precipitation events owing to...
