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...

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...
