This paper presents a climatology of the initial eye formations of a broad set of Atlantic tropical cyclones (TCs) during 1989–2008. A new dataset of structure and intensity parameters is synthesized from the vortex data messages transmitted by routine aircraft reconnaissance. Using these data together with satellite imagery and other established datasets, the times when each TC achieved variou...

Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract In this article we will show that the Total Ozone Residuals (TOR) method as presented by Fishman et al. (2003) contains an erroneous assumption, due to which the TOR as presented in this article reflects mainly a tropospheric O 3 climatology (Logan, 1999)...

BACKGROUND Climate and weather affect human health directly and indirectly. There is a renewed interest in various aspects of environmental health as our understanding of ongoing climate change improves. In particular, today, the health effects in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are not well understood. Many computer models predict some of the biggest changes in places where people are...

In the present note, an alternative proof is supplied for Theorem 1 in [N. Elezović, C. Giordano and J. Pečarić, The best bounds in Gautschi’s inequality, Math. Inequal. Appl. 3 (2000), 239–252.].

We derive a multi-scale model of moist tropical dynamics which is valid on horizontal synoptic scales, zonal planetary scales, and synoptic and intraseasonal time scales. The Intraseasonal Multi-Scale Moist Dynamics (IMMD) framework builds on the IPESD framework of [A.J. Majda and R. Klein, J. Atmos. Sci., 60, 393–408, 2003]. It generalizes the latter by allowing for strong zonal winds (the Tra...
