Synoptic climatology of winter daily temperature extremes in Sapporo, northern Japan

Recent warm and cold daily winter temperature extremes in the Northern Hemisphere

[1] The winters of 2009–2010 and 2010–2011 brought frigid temperatures to parts of Europe, Russia, and the U.S. We analyzed regional and Northern Hemispheric (NH) daily temperature extremes for these two consecutive winters in the historical context of the past 63 years. While some parts clear ly experienced very cold temperatures, the NH was not anomalously cold. Extreme warm events were much ...

trend analysis of minimum, maximum, and mean daily temperature extremes in several climatic regions of iran

an increase, even moderate, in global temperature is expected to result in a change in frequency of extreme weather events like drought, heavy rainfall and storms. the study of extreme events is difficult due to the fact that it is difficult to find long-term homogeneous data series. also the delimitation of extreme events is not univocal since a parameter value that would be defined as an extr...

Synoptic climatology and the analysis of atmospheric teleconnections

Over recent decades, analyses of the structure and impact of atmospheric teleconnections have substantially increased our understanding of the climate system and the role of climate variability. Moving beyond simple correlations between teleconnection indices and temperature and precipitation anomalies, synoptic climatology has been able to provide insight on the spatiotemporal manifestation of...
