Abstract: In previous studies, limited meteorological observations were used to investigate the temporal?spatial changes of dust storms in China. Here, the authors use the daily 850-hPa geopotential height of NCEP?NCAR reanalysis ...

Abstract: total of 163 tropical cyclones (TCs) occurred in the eastern China seas during 1979?2011 with four types of tracks: left turning, right turning, straight moving, and irregular. The left-turning type is unusual and hard to ...

Abstract: athematical derivation, meteorological justification, and comparison to model direct precipitation forecasts are the three main concerns recently raised by Schultz and Spengler about moist divergence (MD) and moist vorticity ...

Abstract: lthough the use of anomaly fields in the forecast process has been shown to be useful and has caught forecasters? attention, current short-range (1?3 days) weather analyses and forecasts are still predominantly total-field ...

Abstract: bnormally low temperature (LT) events in spring and autumn can cause severe damage to spring and autumn rice production in the mid- to lower Yangtze River valley in China. Advanced predictions of such events can help ...

Abstract: roperly including moisture effects into a dynamical parameter can significantly increase the parameter?s ability to diagnose heavy rain locations. The relative humidity?based weighting approach used to extend the moist ...
