Interannual and Interdecadal Variability of the South Atlantic Convergence Zone
Interannual variations of the summertime (January−March) atmospheric circulation over subtropical South America are examined during the period 1958–97 using the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data. It is found from an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis that an anomalous upper-tropospheric stationary eddy in the lee of the Andes tends to accompany a dipole in anomalous vertical motion. An anomal...
متن کاملNO2 climatology in the northern subtropical region: diurnal, seasonal and interannual variability
Daily NO2 vertical column density (VCD) has been routinely measured by zenith sky spectroscopy at the subtropical station of Izaña (28 N, 16 W) since 1993 in the framework of the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC). Based on 14 years of data the first low latitude NO2 VCD climatology has been established and the main characteristics from short timescales of one d...
متن کاملInterannual Variability of High-Wind Occurrence over the North Atlantic*
Interannual variability of high-wind occurrence over the North Atlantic is investigated based on observations from the satellite-borne Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I). Despite no wind direction being included, SSM/I data capture major features of high-wind frequency (HWF) quite well. Climatology maps show that HWF is highest in winter and is close to zero in summer. Remarkable interannu...
متن کاملMesoscale Simulation of Tropical Cyclones in the South Pacific: Climatology and Interannual Variability
The Weather Research and Forecast model at 1/38 resolution is used to simulate the statistics of tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the present climate of the South Pacific. In addition to the large-scale conditions, the model is shown to reproduce a wide range of mesoscale convective systems. Tropical cyclones grow from the most intense of these systems formed along the South Pacific convergenc...
متن کاملLong-Term Seasonal and Interannual Patterns of Marine Mammal Strandings in Subtropical Western South Atlantic
Understanding temporal patterns of marine mammal occurrence is useful for establishing conservation strategies. We used a 38 yr-long dataset spanning 1976 to 2013 to describe temporal patterns and trends in marine mammal strandings along a subtropical stretch of the east coast of South America. This region is influenced by a transitional zone between tropical and temperate waters and is conside...
