RAPID DECREASE IN BAROMETRIC PRESSURE NORTHWEST OF STORM TRACK ON NOVEMBER 17, 1928

barometric pressure cycles

Barometric pressure changes can induce airflow in an open borehole or well screened in the vadose zone, thereby ventilating the soil surrounding the borehole. This paper presents an analytic model of the induced airflow and compares the predictions of the model with experimental measurements. This model may be useful for the design of passive soil vapor extraction as applied to the remediation ...

Storm Track Dynamics

This paper reviews the current state of observational, theoretical, and modeling knowledge of the midlatitude storm tracks of the Northern Hemisphere cool season. Observed storm track structures and variations form the first part of the review. The climatological storm track structure is described, and the seasonal, interannual, and interdecadal storm track variations are discussed. In particul...

Work in Progress: Experiments on MEMS Barometric Pressure Sensors

This paper overviews findings, potential and limitations of a low-cost vertical distance measurement system, as regards lab research and experimental education on MEMS barometric pressure sensors, and future research directions are also recommended.

The disastrous storm of 4 November 1966 on Italy

This is the first modeling reconstruction of the whole aspects (both meteorological and oceanographic) of the storm which hit Italy on 4 November 1966, producing 118 victims and widespread damages in Tuscany, at the northern Adriatic coast and in the north-eastern Italian Alps. The storm was produced by a cyclone which formed in the western Mediterranean and moved eastward towards Italy, reachi...
