Abstract South Korea’s heat wave events over 39 years (1980–2018) were defined by spatiotemporal criteria, and their quantitative characteristics analyzed. The duration intensity of these ranked highest in 2016 2018. An examination synoptic conditions 2018 based on a reanalysis dataset revealed positive anomaly 500-hPa geopotential height, which could have induced warm the Korean Peninsula both...

Here we examine the water stable-isotope data from Roosevelt Island Climate Evolution (RICE) ice core. is an independent rise located at northeastern margin of Ross Ice Shelf. In this study, use empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis to investigate relationship between RICE ice-core oxygen-18 isotopes (δ18O) and Southern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation during extended austral winter (A...

Extreme precipitation in the Northern French Alps are mainly associated with large-scale circulations (LSCs) bringing moist air from Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea—two atmospheric influences that very frequent climatology. In this work, we investigate what characterizes Atlantic/Mediterranean driving extreme comparison to ‘random’ circulations. We focus on 3-day over two medium size neigh...

the moisture flux convergence (mfc) and relative humidity in dusty days at different times and levels over the alvand mountain was investigated. the required basic data for the years 2009-2012, including relative humidity, visibility and synoptic codes, were gathered from hamadan synoptic station, while sea level pressure, uwind, vwind and specific humidity data were gathered from ncer/ncar sit...

This article introduces a method for objectively separating and validating forecast scenarios within a large multimodel ensemble for the medium-range (3–7 day) forecasts of extratropical cyclones impacting the U.S. East Coast. The method applies fuzzy clustering to the principal components (PCs) of empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis on mean sea level pressure (MSLP) from a 90-member c...

This work demonstrates the potential of extreme cool-season precipitation forecasts in Arabian Peninsula (AP) at sub-seasonal time scales, identifies regions and periods forecast opportunity, investigates predictability synoptic-scale forcing scales. To this end, we simulate 18 events using convective-permitting Weather Research Forecasting (CP-WRF) model with lateral boundary from European Cen...

[1] This paper analyses the role of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the interannual variability of the leaf appearance dates of boreal forests in the Northern Hemisphere (1982–2004). We find significant negative correlations between the ENSO, quantified by means of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and the leaf appearance dates in central Siberia with up to 9 months lag. The corr...
