Within the present study we shed light on the question whether objective circulation patterns (CP) classified from either the 500 HPa or the 700 HPa level may serve as predictors to explain the spatio-temporal variability of monsoon rainfall in the Anas catchment in North West India. To this end we employ a fuzzy ruled based classification approach in combination with a novel objective function...

In this article we describe a high-precision laboratory measurement targeting the R(6) manifold of the 2ν3 band of 12CH4. Accurate physical models of this absorption spectrum will be required by the Franco-German, Methane Remote Sensing LIDAR (MERLIN) space mission for retrievals of atmospheric methane. The analysis uses the Hartmann-Tran profile for modeling line shape and also includes line-m...

Daily June-July melt fraction variations over the Greenland ice sheet (GIS) derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) (2000-2013) are associated with atmospheric blocking forming an omega-shape ridge over the GIS at 500 hPa height. Blocking activity with a range of time scales, from synoptic waves breaking poleward (<5 days) to full-fledged blocks (≥5 days), brings ...

the moisture flux convergence (mfc) and relative humidity in dusty days at different times and levels over the alvand mountain was investigated. the required basic data for the years 2009-2012, including relative humidity, visibility and synoptic codes, were gathered from hamadan synoptic station, while sea level pressure, uwind, vwind and specific humidity data were gathered from ncer/ncar sit...

1 2 Low-level temperature inversions are a common feature of the wintertime troposphere in 3 the Arctic and Antarctic. Inversion strength plays an important role in regulating 4 atmospheric processes including air pollution, ozone destruction, cloud formation, and 5 negative longwave feedback mechanisms that shape polar climate response to 6 anthropogenic forcing. The Atmospheric Infrared Sound...

A simulation of the earth’s clear-sky long-wave radiation budget is used to examine the dependence of clearsky outgoing long-wave radiation (OLR) on surface temperature and relative humidity. The simulation uses the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts global reanalysed fields to calculate clear-sky OLR over the period from January 1979 to December 1993, thus allowing the seasonal...

[1] The phase of precipitation is important for weather forecasts, land hydrology and remote sensing. To quantify the temperature and pressure dependence of snow frequency (F, in %) when precipitation occurs, we have analyzed 3-hourly weather reports of surface air temperature (Ts, C) and pressure (Ps), and snow and rain occurrences from over 15,000 land stations and available ship observations...
