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...
متن کاملMoist Convection and the Thermal Stratification of the Extratropical Troposphere
Simulations with an aquaplanet general circulation model show that sensible and latent heat transport by large-scale eddies influences the extratropical thermal stratification over a wide range of climates, even in relatively warm climates with small meridional surface temperature gradients. Variations of the lapse rate toward which the parameterized moist convection in the model relaxes atmosp...
متن کاملThe role of topography on the simulation of Sistan wind structure in the east of Iranian Plateau
In this study, the interaction between atmosphere and earth surface and its effect on the simulation of Sistan wind structure in the East of Iranian plateau is investigated. For this purpose, four experiments have been carried out with RegCM4, with horizontal resolution of 20 km. In non-topography experiments, the model was implemented in three different conditions. The results indicated that t...
متن کاملThe Influence of Aerosol Absorption on the Extratropical Circulation
This study examines how aerosol absorption affects the extratropical circulation by analyzing the response to a globally uniform increase in black carbon (BC) simulated with an atmospheric general circulation model forced by prescribed sea surface temperatures. BC-induced heating in the free troposphere stabilizes the mid-latitude atmospheric column, which results in less energetic baroclinic e...
متن کاملبررسی نقش گـردش منطقهای جو بر روی خـاورمیانه در وقـوع تـوفانهای
1- Introduction In middle and lower troposphere, the main control factor of weather and climate over the Middle East is a local to regional scale thermal forcing including forcing from high mountains. In this regard, regional scale atmospheric circulation associated with surface forcing has an important role in the occurrence of summer dust storms over the area. Southwest of Iran experiences a...
