Synoptic-scale Climatology of Cold Frontal Precipitation Systems during the Passage over Central Japan

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...

Synoptic-Scale Variations in the Polar Air-Mass Transformed over the Japan Sea

The present report studies synoptic-scale variations of the polar air-mass transformed over the Japan Sea, during the ‘‘East Japan Sea Observation’’ in the winters of 1976 and 1977. Rawinsonde observation data at a research vessel are used, in addition to data at operational upper observation stations and the objective analysis data. The multi-layer structure of the transformed air-mass, includ...

synoptic origin of cold temperatures over the northwest of iran

in order to identify the pressure patterns causing the cold weather over the northwestern iran, daily lowest temperatures of six stations of the study area during january- march months of the 1986-2003 period were obtained from meteorological organization of islamic republic of iran (irimo) in the quality controlled format. according to the defined threshold, the very cold days were extracted a...
