Abstract: tmospheric demand for moisture and dry days are expected to increase, leading to drying over land in the twenty-first century. Here, the magnitude and key drivers of this drying are investigated using model simulations ...

Abstract: Based on the observed daily surface air temperature data from 597 stations over continental China and two sets of reanalysis data [NCEP?NCAR and 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40)] during 1979?2001, the altitude effects in ...

Abstract: adiosonde humidity data provide the longest record for assessing changes in atmospheric water vapor, but they often contain large discontinuities because of changes in instrumentation and observational practices. In this ...

Abstract: igh relative humidity (HRH) is defined as a relative humidity of at least 80%, which is often associated with the occurrence of cloud layers. Thus, the frequency of HRH and its changes in the troposphere may be related to ...

Abstract: 14-yr climatology is presented of the mesoscale vortices generated in the vicinity of the Dabie Mountains [Dabie vortices (DBVs)] in the Yangtze River valley. Analyzing these vortices using the Climate Forecast System ...
