Introduction The Argentine Pampas Region extends over 600 000 km2 and is one of the most important crop-producing regions in the world (SAGPyA 2008) (Fig. 1(a), shaded rectangle). In this region, extreme rainfall events often occur and have a significant socio-economic impact. In Argentina, irrigation is very rarely used, and rainfall and its spatio-temporal variability are therefore crucial fo...

Daily 50and 10-mb. height and temperature values for 3 yr. (1964-1966) are interpolated for specific locations from objectively analyzed charts. Time sections arc constructed using these values, and the relationship of the time sections to the sequence of synoptic charts is discussed. Values from weekly 5-, and 2, and 0.4-mb. synoptic analyses (1964-65) are used in making vertical comparisons w...

Long-term evolution of westward-travelling nonlocal modons on the β-plane, i.e. dipolar vortices imbedded in slowly damping Rossby wave fields, is studied numerically. In the framework of the nondivergent (barotropic) model, two stages of the evolution are observed. At the first stage (for about 30 synoptic periods), the parameters and the form of the vortex practically remain constant, whereas...

The tropical intraseasonal 40- to 50-day oscillation (TIO) is the dominant component of variability in the tropical atmosphere with remarkable planetary-scale circulation generated as envelopes of complex multiscale processes. A new multiscale model is developed here that clearly demonstrates the fashion in which planetary-scale circulations sharing many features in common with the observationa...

Synoptic situations producing rainfall at four rawinsonde observatories at eastern Spain are classified as stratiform or convective depending on dynamic and thermodynamic instability indices. Two daily radiosonde and daily-accumulated precipitation data from four observatories in Eastern Spain are used: Madrid-Barajas (MB), Murcia (MU), Palma de Mallorca (PA) and Zaragoza (ZA). We calculated tw...

The primary source of information that clinicians use when evaluating and managing patients with cancer is the surgical pathology report. Omission of critical information from the report is a recognized problem in pathology, especially considering the expanding amount of information, such as molecular diagnostics data, that is now routinely included in reports. To standardize surgical pathology...
