Detailed analysis of the satellite derived water vapour for a five years period (1995-1999) prior to and during southwest monsoon is done over Indian subcontinent adjoining seas. Three layer (1000 hPa – 700 hPa, –500 500 -300 hPa) total moisture data available from NOAA/TOVS are used analysis. These study northward propagating intraseasonal oscillations in tropical Ocean summer season. Results ...

Winter mean 700-hectoPascal (hPa) height anomalies, representing the average atmospheric circulation during the snow season, are compared with annual streamflow measured at 140 streamgauges in the western United States. Correlation and anomaly pattern analyses are used to identify relationships between winter mean atmospheric circulation and temporal and spatial variability in annual streamflow...

Within this study we present a robust method for generating precipitation time series for the Anas catchment in North Western India. The method employs a multivariate stochastic simulation model that is driven by a time series of objectively classified circulation patterns (CPs). In a companion study (Zehe et al., 2006) it was already shown that CPs classified from the 500 or 700 Hpa levels are...

BACKGROUND Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the leading manifestations of coronary heart disease in early middle age. Platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V receptor complexes play a key role in the initial adhesion of platelets to collagen during the formation of a coronary thrombus. The HPA-2 (Thr145 Met) and VNTR polymorphisms of the gene for GP Ibalpha have been studied previously in hospit...

Based on the atmospheric temperature and dew point difference series of mandatory levels in arid region northwest China, we calculated specific humidity stations at 200, 300, 400, 500, 700, 850 hPa analyzed spatial temporal distribution. The radiosonde is compared with two sets reanalysis data (ERA-interim from European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts Modern Era Retrospective Analysis...

Annual and seasonal correlations between temperature and both specific and relative humidity are presented based on radiosonde station data over the tropical Pacific Ocean and North America. Results are presented for the surface and the 850-, 700-, and 500-hPa levels. The correlations between anomalies of temperature and relative humidity are generally negative, and those between temperature an...

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...
