Abstract: his study considers tropical cyclones Irene in Puerto Rico from 2011 and Isaac in the Dominican Republic from 2012. Impacts trailed more than a day after the storm in both cases. Irene passed Puerto Rico on 22 August 2011, ...

Abstract: his study compares different methods of predicting crop-related climate in the Ethiopian highlands for the period 1979?2009. A target index (ETH4) is developed as an average of four variables in the June?September ...

Abstract: his observational study examines zonal gradients in the lower atmosphere and upper ocean across the windward Antilles during midsummer 2012. While earlier work reported on meridional confluence, here the focus is on the ...

Abstract: An analysis of food and water supplies and economic growth in South Africa leads to the realization that climate variability plays a major role. Summer rainfall in the period of 1980?99 is closely associated (variance = ...

Abstract: Meteorological conditions along the west coast of Africa between 30° and 35°S were monitored by means of an instrumented aircraft flown at a height of 150 m over the continental shelf and coastal margin. Case studies, ...

Abstract: This study examines the spatial variability of mean annual rainfall in the Caribbean in the satellite era 1979?2000. Intercomparisons of gridded rainfall fields from conventional stations, satellite estimators, reanalysis ...

Abstract: he meteorology of air pollution episodes on South Africa?s Highveld was studied using OMI and AIRS satellite estimates, MERRA2 reanalysis model products and in-situ weather data. Surface-layer SO2 and NO2 display high ...

Abstract: he Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) climate is described using mesoscale ocean and atmosphere datasets with a focus on thermodynamic versus kinematic controls, the influence of the nearby island of Hispaniola, and factors ...
