The paper briefly describes the salient synoptic weather conditions that prevailed over Indian subcontinent during two phases of ARMEX programme along with some documentation unique observed features e.g. rainfall, wind and cloud pattern, etc. in intraseasonal time scale hope these inputs will be helpful to other researchers working on data for further diagnostic or prognostic studies. There we...

This paper describes an architecture of the source retrieval system used at PAN 2014 lab on uncovering plagiarism, authorship, and social software misuse. The system is based on the systems used in past years at PAN 13 [6] and PAN 12 [5]. The majority of features were adapted with some improvements described in this paper. The source retrieval subsystem forms an integral part of a modern system...

This study developed a methodology to temporally classify large scale, upper level atmospheric conditions over North America, utilizing the newly-developed Upper Level Synoptic Index (ULSI). Four meteorological variables: geopotential height, specific humidity, and uand vwind components, at the 500 mb level over North America were obtained from the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Project data set for the ...

BACKGROUND Synoptic circulation patterns (large-scale tropospheric motion systems) affect air pollution and, potentially, air-pollution-morbidity associations. We evaluated the effect of synoptic circulation patterns (air masses) on the association between ozone and hospital admissions for asthma and myocardial infarction (MI) among adults in North Carolina. METHODS Daily surface meteorology ...

The origin, initiation, and dispersion behavior of the observed summertime synoptic-scale disturbances in the tropical western Pacific are studied. These westward-propagating disturbances have the strongest growth rate over the region of 130°–160°E off the equator. The three-dimensional wave activity flux associated with a wave packet in the vicinity of this region is computed. In general, wave...

A self-contained derivation of the IPESD models [Majda, A.J., Klein, R., 2003. Systematic multi-scale models for the tropics. J. Atmos. Sci. 60, 393–408] governing synoptic and planetary scale tropical flows is provided. This derivation demonstrates the analytic tractability of the model and the effect of zonally and meridionally tilted synoptic scale heating on the forcing of planetary scale f...

BACKGROUND The implementation of innovations (i.e., new tools and practices) in healthcare organizations remains a significant challenge. The objective of this study was to examine the key interpersonal, organizational, and system level factors that influenced the implementation and use of synoptic reporting tools in three specific areas of cancer care. METHODS Using case study methodology, w...

Recent advances in atmospheric transport model inversions could significantly reduce uncertainties in land carbon uptake through the assimilation of CO2 concentration measurements at weekly and shorter timescales. The potential of these measurements for reducing biases in estimated land carbon sinks depends on the strength of covariation between surface fluxes and atmospheric transport at these...

CONTEXT The format of a synoptic report can significantly affect the accuracy, speed, and preference with which a reader can retrieve information. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to compare different formats of Gleason grading/score in synoptic reports of radical prostatectomies. METHODS The performance of 16 nonpathologists (cancer registrars, MDs, medical non-MDs, and nonmedical)...
