Abstract. Dust events are an important and complex constituent of the atmospheric system that can impact Earth's climate, environment, human health. The frequency dust in Southern High Plains West Texas has increased over past 2 decades, yet their on air quality this region is still unclear. This due to fact there only one monitoring station measures PM2.5 concentrations (particulate matter wit...

The influence of synoptic circulation patterns on surface ozone concentrations at three monitoring sites in southern Sweden was investigated for the spring (April–May) and summer (June–August) periods 1990–2005. Synoptic circulation patterns were classified into six groups based on the Lamb Weather Types (LWTs). The analyses show that the anticyclonic weather pattern (A) and the directional flo...

climatological parameters are among the most important ecological capability evaluation criterias, on other hand, climate changes which has intensified in the past decades and has the consequences such as; increases in climatic threshold phenomena like occurrence of horrific floodings, destructive hurricanes, abnormal and sudden colds and heats, untimely rainfalls and heavy snows, widespread dr...

The derivation of the meridional momentum flux arising from a multiscale horizontal velocity field in the intraseasonal, planetary, equatorial synoptic-scale dynamics (IPESD) multiscale models of the equatorial troposphere is presented. It is shown that, because of the balance dynamics on the synoptic scales, the synoptic-scale component of the meridional momentum flux convergence must always v...

One of the unexplained striking features of tropical convection is the observed statistical self-similarity, in clusters, superclusters, and intraseasonal oscillations through complex multi-scale processes ranging from the mesoscales to the equatorial synoptic scales to the intraseasonal/planetary scales. Here new multi-spatial scale, multi-time scale, simplified asymptotic models are derived s...

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections that cause a broad spectrum of diseases. Increasing antibiotic resistance among S. aureus isolates is a serious concern in the treatment and control of staphylococcal infections. The knowledge of S. aureus prevalence and the current antimicrobial resistance profile is necessary in selection of appropriat...

[1] A kinematic mechanism for the positive feedback between the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and synoptic eddies are depicted based on observational data analyses. Using three-point rescaled covariance statistics of bandpass-filtered (2–8 days) synoptic eddy fields, we examined observed eddy structure changes associated with wintermean NAO anomalous flow. It is demonstrated that the NAO flo...

[1] In this study, scale interaction between synoptic eddies and low-frequency flow is investigated. The synoptic eddy feedback is a key process in sustaining the low-frequency flow. We show clear evidence using NCEP reanalysis data that there is a general underlying rule—the ‘‘left-hand rule’’, governing the synoptic eddy feedback onto low-frequency flow. This rule states that eddy-vorticity f...
