Abstract: Different estimates of the global-scale diabatic sources and sinks of atmospheric heat and moisture, obtained from a data assimilation system of the ECMWF, are examined. Estimates arrived at using the budget method are ...

Abstract: The distributions of the net sources of atmospheric dry and latent energy are evaluated by the residual technique using the reanalyzed ECMWF FGGE level IIIb data for February and July 1979. Their sum (i.e., the residual ...

Abstract: On the average, there has to be a balance in the atmosphere between the rate at which the potential enstrophy of the transient eddies (TE) is generated by conversion from the time-mean flow and the rate at which it is ...

Abstract: In this paper we investigate the role of high-frequency transient eddies in the maintenance of the blocking high which occurred over Europe on 16-25 February 1979. Time-filtering is used to decompose the atmospheric ...

Abstract: This paper presents a case study of a single cold air outbreak event with widespread convective precipitation over southern Finland on 25 May 2001. The purpose of the study is to investigate the applicability of the ...

Abstract: A short review of atmospheric energy transport studies is given, and the importance of the Global Weather Experiment for such studies is emphasized. The accuracy of energy flux (divergence) estimates is then discussed, ...

Abstract: he Finnish Meteorological Institute has produced a new numerical weather prediction model?based wind atlas of Finland. The wind atlas provides information on local wind conditions in terms of annual and monthly wind speed ...
