The synoptic scale features over the eastern Mediterranean (EM) for July–August are examined using National Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis data. The region is subjected to two primary factors: mid–upper level subsidence and lower level cool advection, associated with the Etesian winds. The interdiurnal variations of these factors were fo...

[1] This study estimates the amplitude and phase of the climatological diurnal cycle of temperature, from the surface to 10 hPa. The analysis is based on four-times-daily radiosonde data from 53 stations in four regions in the Northern Hemisphere, equatorial soundings from the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere/Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment, and more recent eight-times-daily radios...

introduction: the phenomenon of climate change and its consequences is a familiar topic which is associated with natural disasters such as, flooding, hurricane, drought that cause water crisis and irreparable damages. studying this phenomenon is a serious warning regarding the earth’s weather change for a long period of time. materials and methods: in order to understand and survey the impacts ...

1 2 Low-level temperature inversions are a common feature of the wintertime troposphere in 3 the Arctic and Antarctic. Inversion strength plays an important role in regulating 4 atmospheric processes including air pollution, ozone destruction, cloud formation, and 5 negative longwave feedback mechanisms that shape polar climate response to 6 anthropogenic forcing. The Atmospheric Infrared Sound...

Low-level temperature inversions are a common feature of the wintertime troposphere in the Arctic and Antarctic. Inversion strength plays an important role in regulating atmospheric processes including air pollution, ozone destruction, cloud formation, and negative longwave feedback mechanisms that shape polar climate response to anthropogenic forcing. The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) in...

The meteorological conditions during the period of spring transition over the Middle East and the Persian Gulf and adjacent land area is investigated. Monthly and seasonal variations of large-scale atmospheric patterns and wind aloft features at different levels were drawn from data collected from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction and National Center for Atmospheric Researches. ...

in this study, frequency and location of frontogenesis related to heavy rainfall have been analyzed using environmental to circulation approach. based on the threshold of upper 99 percent, we selected 125 days of the super and overall heavy rainfall from irimo data base (included 1437 synoptic, climatic and rain gage stations from 21/3/1961 up to 31/12/2004). frontogenesis frequency and their l...
