abstractâ in this study, for spatial-temporal analyzing of cyclones in 1376, the spatial range of 30 to 80 degrees of east longitude and 0 to 80 degrees of north latitude and geo potential data with 2/ 5* 2 / 5 degrees of networking in arc levels of 1000, 925, 850, 700, 600 and 500 hpa have been used. these data are extracted for six hours (00, 06, 12, 18 zulu) database (ncep / ncar). so that, ...

[1] The link between high latitude Atlantic winter cyclone activity and both the climate of Spitsbergen and Fram Strait ice export is examined. Cyclones are more frequent over Fram Strait in relatively mild, low ice export, winters and are associated with south-southwesterly flow around anomalous high pressure over Scandinavia. There is an increased tendency for cyclogenesis to occur off the no...

This paper has the finality of describe climatology of extratropical cyclones, anticyclones and storm tracks for the NH and SH. There is a long history of studies on the characteristics of synoptic systems, beginning with classical work on mid-latitude cyclones. For the SH, analyses of pressure data provide extensive statistics of the climatology of synoptic systems. Interestingly, the anticycl...

Present-day climate cannot account for the presence of such lakes in the arid to semi arid area of Jordan. Therefore more intense and wetter Mediterranean cyclones in winter coupled with Arabian monsoon or even ArabianIndian monsoon in summer would have affected major parts of Jordan up to latitude 31° 32 ́ during the warmer periods of the Pleistocene and brought more rain to establish and susta...

Based on the availability of hemispheric gridded data sets from observations, analysis and global climate models, objective cyclone identification methods were developed and applied to these data sets. Due to the large amount of investigation methods combined with the variety of different datasets, a multitude of results exist, not only for the recent climate period but also for the next centur...

A flexible spatio-temporal model is implemented to analyse extreme extra-tropical cyclones objectively identified over the Atlantic and Europe in 6-hourly re-analyses from 1979–2009. Spatial variation in the extremal properties of the cyclones is captured using a 150 cell spatial regularisation, latitude as a covariate, and spatial random effects. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is also us...

[1] We examine the impact of future climate change on regional air pollution meteorology in the United States by conducting a transient climate change (1950–2052) simulation in a general circulation model (GCM) of the Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS). We include in the GCM two tracers of anthropogenic pollution, combustion carbon monoxide (COt) and black carbon (BCt). Sources of both t...

Extratropical cyclones are one of the most important features of the mid-latitude climate and represent a primary mechanism for poleward transport of heat and moisture. They typically develop as a result of the interaction between warm subtropical air and cold polar air masses over the mid-latitudes of both hemispheres. Over the North Atlantic (NA) extratropical cyclones (depressions) often und...

The Mediterranean is one of the most cyclogenetic regions in the world. The cyclones are concentrated along its northern coasts and their tracks are oriented more or less west-east, with several secondary tracks connecting them to Europe and to North Africa. The aim of this study is to examine scenarios in the development of Mediterranean cyclones, based on five selected winter seasons (October...
