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: With the completion of the NCEP?NCAR and ECMWF reanalyses there are now global representations of air?sea surface heat fluxes with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution to be useful in characterizing the air?sea ...

Abstract: ata from a mooring deployed at the edge of the East Greenland shelf south of Denmark Strait from September 2007 to October 2008 are analyzed to investigate the processes by which dense water is transferred off the shelf. ...

Abstract: he North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is one of the most important modes of variability in the global climate system and is characterized by a meridional dipole in the sea level pressure field, with centers of action near ...

Abstract: A recent major climatic event was the occurrence of approximately 350 000 square kilometers of open water in the normally ice covered Weddell Sea near Antarctica during the winters of 1974?76. Within this polynya there was ...

Abstract: climatology of barrier winds along the southeastern coast of Greenland is presented based on 20 yr of winter months (1989?2008) from the ECMWF Interim Reanalysis (ERA-Interim). Barrier wind events occur predominantly at ...

Abstract: For a targeted observations case, the dependence of the size of the forecast impact on the targeted dropsonde observation error in the data assimilation is assessed. The targeted observations were made in the lee of ...

Abstract: Greenland has a major influence on the atmospheric circulation of the North Atlantic?western European region, dictating the location and strength of mesoscale weather systems around the coastal seas of Greenland and directly ...

Abstract: High-resolution surface fluxes over the global ocean are needed to evaluate coupled atmosphere?ocean models and weather forecasting models, provide surface forcing for ocean models, understand the regional and temporal ...

Abstract: he Diabatic Influences on Mesoscale Structures in Extratropical Storms (DIAMET) project aims to improve forecasts of high-impact weather in extratropical cyclones through field measurements, high-resolution numerical ...
