Abstract: Synoptic-scale variability in the air?sea turbulent fluxes in the areas of midlatitudinal western boundary currents is analyzed. In the Gulf Stream area, ocean?atmosphere fluxes on synoptic time- and space scales are clearly ...

Abstract: The uncertainties associated with the mapping of cyclone numbers and frequencies are analyzed using the 42-yr winter climatology of cyclone tracks derived from 6-hourly NCEP?NCAR reanalysis. Tracking is performed using an ...

Abstract: The long-term variability in heavy precipitation characteristics over Europe for the period 1950?2000 is analyzed using high-quality daily records of rain gauge measurements from the European Climate Assessment (ECA) ...

Abstract: he major sources of atmospheric moisture over the Red Sea are analyzed using ERA-Interim for the 1979?2013 period. The vertical structure of moisture transports across the coastlines has been computed separately for the ...

Abstract: EX (Spatial and Temporal Scales and Mechanisms of Extreme Precipitation Events over Central Europe) project has developed a high-resolution gridded long-term precipitation dataset based on the daily-observing precipitation ...

Abstract: aily rain gauge data over Europe for the period from 1950 to 2009 were used to analyze changes in the duration of wet and dry spells. The duration of wet spells exhibits a statistically significant growth over northern ...

Abstract: Recent observational studies have shown that the centers of action of interannual variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) were located farther eastward during winters of the period 1978?97 compared to previous ...
