Synoptic Forcing of Precipitation over Greenland: Climatology for 1961–99

Synoptic Climatology: An Overview

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...

Precipitation Climatology of Lake Michigan Basin

A detailed climatological study shows that the average annual precipitation over Lake Michigan is 6 percent less than that of the land portion of the basin. This is contrary to results of most previous studies which indicated that lake and land precipitation were equal. However, the results of this study are more accurate than the earlier findings because they are based on more detailed informa...

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...
