Spatial variability of midtropospheric circulation patterns and associated surface climate in the United States during ENSO winters
Atmospheric circulation ; Climatic variation ; Precipitation ; Temperature ; Troposphere ; United States ; Weather type ; Winter
This study identifies the dominant synoptic circulation patterns and associated temperature and precipitation departures that occur during ENSO winters. Using standardized departures of 500 mbar heights over North America and the North Pacific Ocean
, a subjective classification of the anomaly maps for winter months identified as warm ENSO events identifies three basic categories of 500 mbar standardized anomaly patterns.
Summer and winter regimes of runoff generation and soil erosion on cultivated loess soils (The Netherlands)
Monthly runoff and soil loss data of three fallow experimental plots are presented, comprising a summer and following winter season. Implications for runoff and erosion of climatic change, involving increased rainfall amounts or intensities
The meridional flux of eddy sensible heat at 700 mb in the Northern Hemisphere winter
The long-term geographical distribution of the winter, meridional eddy sensible heat flux is shown and is compared with the flux variation over the winters of 1976-1987. Results indicate that while the winter mean total eddy flux possesses the same
Snow cover a frequent phenomenon in Slovenia and even in the lowlands of the interior regions, it can last for several weeks. The properties of snow and winter weather after the snow cover has formed, determine the load of snow upon houses, trees
from the intensity of melting. WASC is also a good indicator of winter precipitation where precipitation stations are rare and precipitation gradients are big. The researches carried out in the winter 2005/2006 showed that precipitation in the central
is explained with weather data of each respective year. Due to its concave form, winter snow didn’t melt until the late summer in the past few years. With such weather conditions and further increase in winter precipitation, the Triglav glacier will continue
Cold waves and winter monsoon in East Asia : with special reference to south China
Satellite Himawari images in winter 1986/87 and typical cold waves in relation to winter monsoon situations such as the cases in January and February 1963.
Intermediate-scale sea ice-atmosphere interactions over high southern latitudes in winter
Associations between polar air cloud vortices ( polar lows ), as an indicator of intermediate-scale atmospheric activity, and the Antarctic sea ice, are examined for the Southern Hemisphere winter (June-September). Seven consecutive winters

The winter land breeze (WLB) was studied in an area with complex totpography on the Swedish West Coast. The objectives are to show the horizontal and vertical extension of WLB in a complex landscape and to give a tentative climatology concerning
