Large-Scale Droughts/Floods and Monsoon Circulation

On the Relation Between the Large-Scale Tropospheric Circulation and Air Quality in Tehran

The large-scale tropospheric circulation can play a controlling role in the accumulation and ventilation of air pollutants. It thus impacts air quality in large urban areas. This paper investigates the statistical relations between the dynamical indices related to circulation in the troposphere and visibility as a surrogate for air pollution in the urban area of Tehran for the climatological pe...

Large-Scale Ocean Circulation

The past 30 years have witnessed a rapid evolution of circulation theory. Much of the progress can be attributed to the intuition and physical balance that have emerged from the use of simple models that isolate important processes. Major contributions along these lines were made by Stommel, Welander, and others. An excellent presentation of the ideas together with a number of significant advan...

The monsoon circulation of the Indian Ocean

In this paper, we review observations, theory and model results on the monsoon circulation of the Indian Ocean. We begin with a general overview, discussing wind-stress forcing fields and their anomalies, climatological distributions of stratification, mixed-layer depths, altimetric sea-level distributions, and seasonal circulation patterns (Section 2). The three main monsoon circulation sectio...
