Abstract The decadal variability of extreme high temperature (EHT) in the mid and highlatitudes continental Asia (MHLCA) associated mechanisms were investigated. Observational analysis indicated that, after removing global warming, first leading mode EHT events showed a meridional dipole pattern had significant variability. During periods 1980–1994 2012–2019 (1995–2011), more frequent stronger ...

The rapid growth in stored time-oriented data necessitates the development of new methods for handling, processing, and interpreting large amounts of temporal data. One important example of such processing is detecting anomalies in time-oriented data. The Knowledge-Based Temporal Abstraction method was previously proposed for intelligent interpretation of temporal data based on predefined domai...

Introduction: Recent advances in algorithms used to process data from the Mars Climate Sounder (MCS) [1] permit the study of the Mars polar atmosphere with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution and coverage. We have used this improved observational record in comparisons with General Circulation Models (GCM) and reanalysis. To date, limitations in the observations have made more difficul...

We used a variation of the generalized scidar (scintillation detection and ranging) technique to examine the temporal coherence of turbulent patterns at different altitudes in the atmosphere above Palomar Observatory. This enables us to test the validity of a frozen turbulence hypothesis in the local reference frame of the moving atmosphere. The data set analyzed here contains three turbulent p...

1 Global average cooling and Northern Hemisphere winter warming are well-known 2 climatic responses to the June 15, 1991 eruption of the Mount Pinatubo volcano in the 3 Philippines. Here we investigate the Southern Hemisphere response. Using National Centers for 4 Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research Reanalysis, European 5 Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting...

Large-scale climate patterns control variability in the global carbon sink. In Europe, the North-Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) influences vegetation activity, however the East-Atlantic (EA) pattern is known to modulate NAO strength and location. Using observation-driven and modelled data sets, we show that multi-annual variability patterns of European Net Biome Productivity (NBP) are linked to ano...

Since 2007 a large decline in Arctic sea ice has been observed. The large-scale atmospheric circulation response to this decline is investigated in ERA-Interim reanalyses and HadGEM3 climate model experiments. In winter, post-2007 observed circulation anomalies over the Arctic, North Atlantic and Eurasia are small compared to interannual variability. In summer, the post-2007 observed circulatio...

The ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) model is coupled to the ocean general circulation model MPIOM using the Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) interface. MPIOM is operated as a MESSy submodel, thus the need of an external coupler is avoided. The coupling method is tested for different model configurations, proving to be very flexible in terms of parallel decomposition and very well ...
