Abstract: Different common interpolation methods have been used for transformation of atmospheric variables from pressure levels into isentropic levels. The accuracy of the derived variables depends both on the specific interpolation ...

Abstract: This study proposes a method for estimating the canopy-layer net urban heat island (UHI) in regions with complex terrain that lack preurban observations. The approach is based on a linear relationship between the urban?rural ...

Abstract: This study examines the effect of temporal variations in either location or structure of both straight and curved jets on their associated divergence patterns. For each of these jets the time-dependent geopotential height ...

Abstract: Tropical plumes (TPs) reflect tropical?extratropical interaction associated with the transport of moisture from the Tropics to extratropical latitudes. They are observed in satellite images as continuous narrow cloud bands ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of the characteristics of lightning activity during the Cyprus low winter storms over the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. The focus is on changes in the nature of thunderstorms crossing the ...

Abstract: This paper examines the precision of location and top height of mesoscale convective systems, as forecast by the Aviation Weather Center (AWC). The examination was motivated by the Mediterranean Israeli Dust Experiment ...
