Abstract: ape Farewell, Greenland?s southernmost point, is characterized by a number of low-level jets that are the result of topographic flow distortion associated with passing extratropical cyclones. The heavy seas associated with ...

Abstract: The transport of water vapor through the Mackenzie River basin, a typical high-latitude river basin, is examined for the years 1979?93, with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis dataset (ERA). ...

Abstract: Scientific interest in Mount Everest has been largely focused on the physiology of hypoxia caused by the summit's low barometric pressure. Although weather is recognized as a significant risk for climbers on the mountain, ...

Abstract: Although the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) have been identified as important modes of climate variability during the Northern Hemisphere (NH) winter, whether the AO or the NAO is more fundamental ...

Abstract: In late May 2005, three climbers were immobilized at 5400 m on Mount Logan, Canada?s highest mountain, by the high-impact weather associated with an extratropical cyclone over the Gulf of Alaska. Rescue operations were ...

Abstract: A novel way of quantifying the variance of a time series is presented. The method first involves filtering the time series using filters with different temporal characteristics, and then using a moving window to calculate ...

Abstract: Deep water formation at high latitudes is believed to be the driving mechanism behind the ocean's thermohaline circulation. The exchange of heat and water with the atmosphere causes the density of the surface waters to ...

Abstract: The high topography of Greenland results in a number of orographically induced high wind speed flows along its coast that are of interest from both a severe weather and climate perspective. Here the surface wind field ...

Abstract: Observational data from two research aircraft flights are presented. The flights were planned to investigate the air?sea interaction during an extreme cold-air outbreak, associated with the passage of a synoptic-scale low ...

Abstract: The transport of water vapor through the Mackenzie River basin, a typical high-latitude river basin, is examined for the period from August to October 1994. The spatial and temporal variability in the transport is considered ...
