Spatial distribution of polychlorinated naphthalenes in air over the Great Lakes and air-water gas exchange in Lake Ontario.
High-volume air samples were collected during research cruises of Lake Superior in August 1996 and May 1997 and of Lake Ontario (North America) in July and September 1998 and June 2000 and analyzed for polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs). Levels of tetra- to octachloronaphthalene (sigmaPCN) varied spatially, with mean values (+/-SD) of 1.78 +/- 0.74 and 1.46 +/- 1.07 pg m(-3) for Lake Superior ...
متن کاملWinter to winter recurrence of atmospheric circulation anomalies over East Asia and its impact on winter surface air temperature anomalies
The persistence of atmospheric circulation anomalies over East Asia shows a winter to winter recurrence (WTWR) phenomenon. Seasonal variations in sea level pressure anomalies and surface wind anomalies display significantly different characteristics between WTWR and non-WTWR years. The WTWR years are characterized by the recurrence of both a strong (weak) anomalous Siberian High and an East Asi...
متن کاملWinter Air Temperature Change over the Terrestrial Arctic , 1961 – 1990
We evaluate two approaches to spatially interpolating winter surface air-temperature fields over the terrestrial Arctic from available weather-station records. We then examine 30 yr (1961–1990) of winter air-temperature change over the terrestrial Arctic through a timetrend analysis of interpolated winter air-temperature fields. We used monthly average air temperatures from 4984 Arctic station ...
متن کاملPossible mechanism of abrupt jump in winter surface air temperature in the late 1980s over the Northern Hemisphere
Possible cause of an abrupt warming in winter mean surface air temperature in the midlatitudes of the Northern Hemisphere in the late 1980s is investigated using observation and reanalysis data. To determine the timing of abrupt warming, we use a regime shift index based on detection of the largest significant differences between the mean values of two contiguous periods. Results show that the ...
متن کاملStronger winds over a large lake in response to weakening air-to-lake temperature gradient
The impacts of climate change on the world’s large lakes are a cause for concern1–4. For example, over the past decades, mean surface water temperatures in Lake Superior, North America, have warmed faster than air temperature during the thermally stratified summer season, because decreasing ice cover has led to increased heat input2,5. However, the effects of this change on large lakes have not...
