Abstract: Preliminary results of investigations of Antarctic mesocyclones in the Weddell Sea region are presented for the Antarctic summer periods 1983?88. Based on NOAA and METEOR satellite images, a total of 195 mesoscale vortices ...

Abstract: Mesocyclones (MCs) are a frequently observed phenomenon in the coastal regions of Antarctica. Numerical simulations of topographically forced MCs in the Weddell Sea and the Ross Sea region are presented using a three-dimensional ...

Abstract: The development of three summertime mesoscale cyclones (MCs) over the northern Amundsen and Bellingshausen Seas from 10 to 12 January 1995 (during FROST SOP-3) is studied by means of AVHRR data, ERS and SSM/I retrievals, ...

Abstract: large number of quantities have to be measured and processed to determine the atmospheric-state variables, which are the actual measurands, from aircraft-based measurements. A great part of the dependencies between these ...

Abstract: pectra of wind, kinetic energy, and temperature are investigated for a dataset of 10 years of regional climate simulations for mid-Europe. The nonhydrostatic Consortium for Small-Scale Modeling (COSMO) model in Climate ...

Abstract: AbstractThe regional climate model COSMO in Climate Limited-Area Mode (COSMO-CLM or CCLM) is used with a high resolution of 15 km for the entire Arctic for all winters 2002/03?2014/15. The simulations show a high spatial ...

Abstract: Verification of two months, April and May 1997, of 48-h mesoscale model simulations of the atmospheric state around Greenland are presented. The simulations are performed with a modified version of The Pennsylvania State ...
