Climate Variability of the Intensity of Synoptic Processes in the North Atlantic Midlatitudes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Long-term interannual variations of the intramonthly standard deviations of surface meteorological parameters are studied on the basis of the North Atlantic Ocean Weather Stations (OWSs) dataset. To consider the different ...
Comparison of COADS Release 1a Winds with Instrumental Measurements in the Northwest Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The reliability of the Comprehensive Ocean?Atmosphere Dataset (COADS) Release 1a 2° monthly winds is tested by comparing it with instrumental measurements in the northwest Atlantic from 1981 to 1991. The instrumental dataset ...
Climatologically Significant Effects of Space–Time Averaging in the North Atlantic Sea–Air Heat Flux Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Differences between ?classical? and ?sampling? estimates of mean climatological heat fluxes and their seasonal and interannual variability are considered on the basis of individual marine observations from the Comprehensive ...
Concurrent Changes to Hadley Circulation and the Meridional Distribution of Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPoleward trends in seasonal-mean latitudes of tropical cyclones (TCs) have been identified in direct observations from 1980 to the present. Paleoclimate reconstructions also indicate poleward?equatorward migrations ...
Probability Distribution Characteristics for Surface Air–Sea Turbulent Heat Fluxes over the Global Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: o analyze the probability density distributions of surface turbulent heat fluxes, the authors apply the two-parametric modified Fisher?Tippett (MFT) distribution to the sensible and latent turbulent heat fluxes recomputed ...
Kinematics of Eddy–Mean Flow Interaction in an Idealized Atmospheric Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors analyze atmospheric variability simulated in a two-layer baroclinic ?-channel quasigeostrophic model by combining Eulerian and feature-tracking analysis approaches. The leading mode of the model's low-frequency ...
Composite Analysis of North Atlantic Extratropical Cyclones in NCEP–NCAR Reanalysis Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omposite analysis of North Atlantic midlatitudinal winter cyclones is performed using NCEP?NCAR reanalysis data for the 60-yr period from 1948 to 2007. The composites were developed using an advanced methodology involving ...
Climatology of Cyclone Size Characteristics and Their Changes during the Cyclone Life Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Climatology of the atmospheric cyclone sizes and their change over the cyclone life cycle is analyzed on the basis of tracking 57 yr of NCEP?NCAR reanalysis sea level pressure data over the Northern Hemisphere. To quantify ...
Synoptic Variability of Ocean–Atmosphere Turbulent Fluxes Associated with Atmospheric Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Synoptic-scale variability in the air?sea turbulent fluxes in the areas of midlatitudinal western boundary currents is analyzed. In the Gulf Stream area, ocean?atmosphere fluxes on synoptic time- and space scales are clearly ...
