Abstract: This paper investigates the potential of line-of-sight (LOS) wind information from a spaceborne Doppler wind lidar to reduce uncertainties in the analysis fields of equatorial waves. The benefit of LOS winds is assessed ...

Abstract: AbstractThe marine icicles that form on coastal constructions (e.g., piers and railings) are very common in polar and subpolar areas. The occasional formation of icicles in the coastal zones of the Mediterranean Sea occurs ...

Abstract: new methodology for the analysis of ensemble prediction systems (ENSs) is presented and applied to 1 month (December 2014) of ECMWF operational ensemble forecasts. The method relies on the decomposition of the global ...

Abstract: his paper deals with the large-scale inertio-gravity (IG) wave energy in the operational ECMWF analyses in July 2007. Energy percentages of the IG waves obtained from the standard-pressure-level data are compared to those ...

Abstract: The globally integrated subseasonal variability associated with the two main atmospheric circulation regimes, the balanced (or Rossby) and unbalanced (or inertia–gravity) regimes, is evaluated for the four reanalysis ...

Abstract: AbstractThe paper presents four ensembles of numerical experiments that compare the response to monopole and dipole heating perturbations resembling different phases of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO). The results ...

Abstract: AbstractSeveral decades after E. Dewan predicted that the shallowing of the atmospheric energy spectrum in mesoscale is produced by the inertia?gravity (IG) waves, global analyses have reached the resolution at which the ...
