The influence of the most representative winter patterns of atmospheric variation in the Northern Hemisphere on precipitation variability and on river flow regimes was evaluated for the Miño River basin (NW Iberian Peninsula). The Arctic Oscillation (AO) was also considered in order to analyze the effect of a larger-scale atmospheric mode on precipitation and river flow. Precipitation data were...

[1] The role of stratospheric ozone recovery in the Southern Hemisphere climate system, in the coming decades, is examined by contrasting two 10‐member ensembles of Community Atmospheric Model (CAM3) integrations, over the period 2000–2060. Model integrations in the first ensemble are conducted with a complete set of forcings: greenhouse gas concentrations from the A1B scenario, SSTs from corre...

this study was conducted to assess the concentration of some heavy metals and to examine their contamination hazard in atmospheric dust of urban, industrial and non-urban areas in bushehr province, southwestern iran. fifty dust samples from the leaves of the palm trees and fifty surface soil samples from bushehr and assaluyeh cities as urban and industrial areas, respectively, and also from the...

Atmospheric instabilities, mainly convection, depend on temperature distribution and moisture availability. The development of convection can often lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation, release of latent heat, etc. The initiation or development of instabilities has to be studied in detail with high-resolution, ground-based instruments such as ground-based microwave radiometric meas...

Precipitation patterns are influenced by many factors, such as global atmospheric circulations to name but one. Precipitation patterns in Iran have always had great fluctuations even in a smaller scale like the Alburz Mountain Range. The present research has tried to find the relationship between global atmospheric patterns and the pervasive precipitation ones in Alburz. For doing so, 17 climat...
