[1] The subtropical convective boundary layer (CBL) plays a critical role in climate by regulating the vertical exchange of moisture, energy, trace gases, and pollutants between the ocean surface and free troposphere. Yet bulk features of this exchange are poorly constrained in climate models. To improve our understanding of moisture transport between the boundary layer and free troposphere, pa...

Wind profiles from space would help to fill in data sparse areas over the oceans, the tropics, and the southern hemisphere. ESA has conducted a phase A study for the Earth Explorer Atmospheric Dynamics Mission (ADM). A polar satellite with a Doppler Wind Lidar (DWL) on board is proposed for this mission and which is described in this session by Ingmann. The DWL measures wind profiles in the tro...

This paper aimed to establish econometrical equation models for the Nile delta region in Egypt, which will represent a basement for future predictions of Lumpy skin disease outbreaks and its pathway in relation to climate change. Data of lumpy skin disease (LSD) outbreaks were collected from the cattle farms located in the provinces representing the Nile delta region during 1 January, 2015 to D...

A systematic characterization of multivariate dependence at multiple spatio-temporal scales is critical to understanding climate system dynamics and improving predictive ability from models and data. However, dependence structures in climate are complex due to nonlinear dynamical generating processes, long-range spatial and long-memory temporal relationships, as well as low-frequency variabilit...

background: the aim of study was to measure particle matter concentration (pm 1, pm 2.5 and pm 10 ) during normal, semi-dust and dust-event days. the impacts of some meteorological factors on particle matter concentrations were also investigated. methods: samples were collected by grimm aerosol technik (gmbh model 1/108 germany) from november 2011 to may 2012. temperature, humidity, wind speed ...

Olofsson, E. 2006. Supporting management of the risk of wind damage in south Swedish forestry. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 91-576-7095-1 Private forest owners in southern Sweden consider wind damage to be one of the most problematic risks from an economic perspective. A potential climate change also raises the question of the possible impact of such a climate change on the risk ...

[1] A recent paper (Paltridge et al., 2009) found that specific humidity in the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/ NCAR) reanalysis declined between 1973 and 2007, particularly in the tropical mid and upper troposphere, the region that plays the key role in the water vapor feedback. If borne out, this result suggests potential problems ...

purpose estimating wind chill index as one of the indexes effective in body comfort, specifically for athletes and tourists interested in winter sports. methods meteorology data including temperature and the percentage of relative humidity of 6 synoptic stations of chaharmahal-bakhtiyrai province, iran from 1990 to 2007 were extracted from iranian meteorology site. in order to calculate the val...

Within the framework of a Tyndall Centre research project, sea level and wave changes around the UK and in the North Sea have been analysed. This paper integrates the results of this project. Many aspects of the contribution of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) to sea level and wave height have been resolved. The NAO is a major forcing parameter for sea-level variability. Strong positive res...
