The accurate estimation of Antarctic precipitation variability is an essential component in understanding lobal sea level fluctuations; direct measurement techniques, however, are replete with practical difficulties. In this study, net precipitation (precipitation minus sublimation) for the Antarctic continent is computed for 1980-1994 using operational numerical analyses obtained from the ECMW...

Global seasonal cycles of the wind and wind stress fields estimated from the 8-yr record (September 1999–August 2007) of wind measurements by the NASA Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) are presented. While this atlas, referred to here as the Scatterometer Climatology of Ocean Winds (SCOW), consists of 12 variables, the focus here is on the wind stress and wind stress derivative (curl and divergenc...

Weekly cycles of meteorological parameters have been found in many regions around the world; however, the phase and magnitude of these cycles vary greatly from regions and seasons. Based on the NCEP/DOE reanalysis data and the daily surface station observation data from 1980 to 2009 in Beijing and surrounding areas, the weekend effect of aerosol concentration, precipitation and several other me...

[1] The air sea interaction processes over the Indian Ocean are studied using the satellite data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Satellite for two contrasting monsoon years, namely 2002 (deficit) and 2003 (normal). The moisture transport for the two contrasting years was also analyzed using the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data. Linear correlation coefficient between the convective heating...

The two objectives of natural ventilation in buildings are the improvement of indoor air quality and thermal comfort. The methodology proposed hereafter provides an assessment of the natural ventilation potential for indoor air quality, while taking into consideration the other objective. More precisely, requirements on comfort impose the appropriate ventilation strategies to be applied for eac...

The spatial and temporal distributions of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) are investigated, using monthly data from the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis for the period 1980–2004. Patterns of atmospheric forcing are identified in observations of sea level pressure and air–sea heat fluxes. It is found that a significant fraction of SST variability in the ACC...

Significant changes in the Arctic climate, particularly a rapid decline of September sea ice has occurred over past few decades. Though exact reason for such drastic is still unknown, studies suggest anthropogenic drivers, natural variability climate system, and combination both as reasons. The present study focus on influence one variabilities teleconnections associated with Indian Summer Mons...

The Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model was run over South-east Australia from 1985 through 2008. The model used the following physics schemes: WRF Single Moment 5-class microphysics scheme; Rapid Radiative Transfer Model longwave radiation scheme; Dudhia shortwave radiation scheme; Monin-Obukhov surface layer similarity; Noah land-surface scheme; Yonsei University boundary layer scheme a...

Using the daily temperature data from meteorological stations in Yunnan province and Guizhou 2000 to 2019, NCEP/NCAR re-analyzed on a basis, analyzed temporal spatial characteristics of extreme events study area. Research shows that region is warming; index different tendency, all have abrupt changes; maximum monthly heat persistence will continue increase future, number cold night days are str...
