Winter atmospheric circulation and river discharge in northwest Europe
[1] More frequent western atmospheric circulation over Europe results in increased precipitation in winter, and could result in increasing river discharges. We made a quantitative assessment of the impact of variation in atmospheric circulation, defined by the frequency of western circulation in the Großwetterlagen classification system and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index, on variati...
متن کاملAtmospheric circulation patterns which promote winter Arctic sea ice decline
The impact of winter atmospheric blocking over the Ural Mountains region (UB) coincident with different phases of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on the sea ice variability over the Barents and Kara Seas (BKS) in winter is investigated. It is found that the UB in conjunction with the positive phase of the NAO (NAOþ) leads to the strongest sea ice decline. During this phase composites and t...
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 کاملSecondary circulation in a region of flow curvature: Relationship with tidal forcing and river discharge
[1] On the basis of a 301 day acoustic Doppler current profiler mooring in an estuarine tidal strait the strength and structure of secondary circulation in a region of flow curvature is related to variations in tidal forcing and river discharge. During low-flow conditions the structure of secondary flow is consistent with a centrifugally forced helical flow, with bottom flow toward the inside o...
متن کاملCharacterizing the European sub - Arctic winter climate since 1500 using ice , temperature , and atmospheric circulation time
This study describes winter climate during the last 500 y for the greater Baltic Sea region through an examination of well-documented time series of ice cover, sea level pressure, and winter surface air temperatures. These time series have been the focus of previous studies, but here their covariation over different time scales is analyzed based on two modern descriptive statistical techniques,...
