Fog and rain water samples were collected at the same time in the Akita Hachimantai mountain range in northern Japan from June to September in 1998 and 1999. The various ion concentrations in these samples were analyzed, and the fog droplet sizes were measured for each fog event. As the fog droplet size increased, the ion concentration decreased. The slope of log-log plots of the concentration ...

In order to investigate the performance of two different algorithms for retrieving temperature from Rayleigh-Brillouin (RB) line shapes, RB scattering measurements have been performed in air at a wavelength of 403 nm, for a temperature range from 257 K to 330 K, and atmospherically relevant pressures from 871 hPa to 1013 hPa. One algorithm, based on the Tenti S6 line shape model, shows very goo...

Monsoon onset over the Kerala (MOK) coast has been studied using the recently released high resolution Hamburg Ocean Atmosphere Parameters and Fluxes from Satellite data (HOAPS 3). Columnar water vapour content, sea surface temperature and evaporation have been utilised to examine the conditions leading to MOK from 7 pentads. The role of monsoon hadley cell (MHC) has also been assessed using th...

The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis data on tropospheric humidity are examined for the period 1973 to 2007. It is accepted that radiosonde-derived humidity data must be treated with great caution, particularly at altitudes above the 500 hPa pressure level. With that caveat, the face-value 35-year trend in zonal-average annual-average specific humidity q is signif...

The paper analyzes the influence of atmospheric circulation on cloudiness and cloud types during July August 2016 in Petuniabukta Svalbard-Lufthavn. For meteorological parameters, basic statistical measures were calculated average diurnal patterns analyzed. Taking data from reanalysis (NCEP/NCAR-The National Centers for Atmospheric Prediction/The Center Research) regarding mean sea-level pressu...

This study investigates the impact of central Pacific (CP) El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on tropical cyclone (TC) frequency over western North (WNP) decadal and interannual timescales. The CP ENSO-TC relationship is strong significant only timescales, with enhanced TC formation most WNP associated warm ENSO phases. changes, driven by ENSO, exhibit a southeast–northwest dipole pattern simi...

A statistical model (relationship) between a new circulation instability index and the registered temperature anomalies in two regions of Europe has been proposed tested. The average values this index, calculated at levels 850 hPa 500 hPa, were used as predictors modelling by months for period 2011–2020. monthly geopotential during utilized to calculate these regions. For each them, following c...

[1] This paper evaluates geo-seasonal relationships in tropical deep convection using radar and infrared data from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), near tropopause thin clouds from Stratospheric Air and Gas Experiment (SAGE) II, water vapor and carbon monoxide (CO) from the Earth Observing System (EOS) Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS), and the tropopause temperature from National Center ...

the aim of this research is investigating the relations between climatic large scale signals and spring rainfall of khorasan-e razavi province. in this research, we have analyzed 38 years of rainfall data in khorasan-e razavi province, located in northeastern iran. we attempted to train artificial neural network based upon climatic large scale signals with 38 years of rainfall data. for perform...

Abstract To investigate the relationship among summer atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over Taklimakan Desert (TD), its land surface parameters and large scale meteorological field, Urumqi Institute of Meteorology China Meteorological Administration conducted a comprehensive observation in Tazhong, hinterland TD from July 1 to 31, 2016. The correlations between ABL height sensible heat, latent ...
