Synoptic Analysis of Extreme Dust Storms in Kermanshah
Dust storms are one of damaging climatic phenomena on the synoptic maps that are affected from the elements of pressure, cloudiness, precipitation, relative humidity, wind, temperature, and evaporation. According to Kermanshah province is one of the areas that is affected by the storms, the aim of this study is synoptic analysis of extreme dust storms in Kermanshah Station in 54-year period (19...
متن کاملSevere convection and lightning in subtropical South America
Satellite radar and radiometer data show that subtropical South America has the world’s deepest convective storms, robust mesoscale convective systems, and very frequent large hail. We determine severe weather characteristics for the most intense precipitation features seen by satellite in this region. In summer, hail and lightning concentrate over the foothills of western Argentina. Lightning ...
متن کاملبررسی اثر تغییر اقلیم بر روند نمایه های حدی بارش ایران زمین
Global changes in extremes of the climatic variables that have been observed in recent decades can only be accounted anthropogenic, as well as natural changes. Factors are considered, and under enhanced greenhouse gas forcing the frequency of some of these extreme events is likely to change (IPCC, 2007 Alexander et al., 2007). Folland et al. (2001) showed that in some regions both temperature a...
متن کاملWeak linkage between the heaviest rainfall and tallest storms
Conventionally, the heaviest rainfall has been linked to the tallest, most intense convective storms. However, the global picture of the linkage between extreme rainfall and convection remains unclear. Here we analyse an 11-year record of spaceborne precipitation radar observations and establish that a relatively small fraction of extreme convective events produces extreme rainfall rates in any...
متن کاملMore frequent intense and long-lived storms dominate the springtime trend in central US rainfall
The changes in extreme rainfall associated with a warming climate have drawn significant attention in recent years. Mounting evidence shows that sub-daily convective rainfall extremes are increasing faster than the rate of change in the atmospheric precipitable water capacity with a warming climate. However, the response of extreme precipitation depends on the type of storm supported by the met...
