The main purpose of this paper is to analyze some characteristics of gravity waves (GWs), and seasonal variations of atmospheric waves over Istanbul by using wavelet techniques. Daily radiosonda data of Istanbul in the troposphere and lower stratosphere (1000 hPa–30 hPa) between 1993 and 1997 have been considered. Wavelet analysis based on a computer simulation of data is generally close to the...

This study finds an increasing trend in the decay timescale (τ) of western North Pacific (WNP) tropical cyclone (TCs) making landfall on Asian continent from 1966–2018. Statistical analysis individual landfalling TCs shows that τ is significantly positively linked to soil wetness, 850-hPa relative vorticity and 200-hPa divergence, whereas it weakly correlated with 700–500-hPa humidity 850–200-h...

The occurrence of major avalanche episodes in the Eastern Pyrenees (NE Spain) is estimated by means of the Poisson and the negative binomial distributions, assuming that they are rare events. The differences observed in their spatial distribution along the seven regions in which Eastern Pyrenees have been divided, suggests us to look for spatial variations in the relationship between extreme av...

A statistical model (relationship) between a new circulation instability index and the registered temperature anomalies in two regions of Europe has been proposed tested. The average values this index, calculated at levels 850 hPa 500 hPa, were used as predictors modelling by months for period 2011–2020. monthly geopotential during utilized to calculate these regions. For each them, following c...

This work analyses the link between Western Europe large-scale circulation and precipitation variability in Northern French Alps from 1950 to 2017. We consider simple descriptors characterizing daily 500 hPa geopotential height fields. They are maximum pressure difference (MPD)—representing range of heights over Europe, singularity—representing mean distance a shape its closest analogs, that is...

A possibly new teleconnection has been discovered off the east coast of Australia in the region around Tasman sea and Southern Ocean. Found in pressure anomalies using a novel graph based approach called shared reciprocal nearest neighbors, this dipole appears in reanalysis datasets such as NCEP, JRA, ERA and MERRA. The HadSLP2 observation data shows the new dipole, despite of limited observati...

Temperature trends in the UTLS region are under-reported, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, and yet temperature is one of the most important indicators of changes in dynamical and radiative processes in the atmosphere. Here radiosonde data from Durban, South Africa (30.0 S, 30.9 E) over the period 1980 to 2001 (22 years) between 250 and 20 hPa are used to derive a mean temperature climat...
