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.
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
Temperature character of winters at the station Hurbanovo in climatic period 1960-61 - 1989-90 is compared with air temperatures during the last 120 years. Hurbanovo represents conditions of the lowland in the South West Slovakia. The rise of air
Soil temperature records obtained from the active layer above permafrost at a site in northern Alaska during autumn and winter have variance spectra inconsistent with a purely conductive heat-transfer system.
In this region of India people carry earthenware pots of charcoal under their loose clothing to stay warm in the cold winters. A form of cancer results from the injurious effects of heat from these portable braziers on the abdomen and thighs.―(DWG)
The warm winters at this town of 1 876 inhabitants near the Arizona-California border attract 1 500 000 people. Most come in recreational vehicles (« RV's ») and many stay for more than two months. This phenomenon testifies to an American desire
Results of a short term study in late winter and early spring on river water quality of the Tsukuba mountain ecosystem in central Japan carried out at 130 sites. Since it was observed that the river water quality can be maintained or improved
Topographic changes in two blowouts located in Island Beach State Park, New Jersey, were monitored over the winter of 1981-1982. Elevation changes were measured with erosion pins, and sediment traps placed at comparable locations in each blowout
Déficit pluviométrique hivernal sur la France : autopsie des agglutinations anticycloniques des hivers de 1988 à 1992

Le déficit pluvio-nival des saisons hivernales de 1988 à 1992 est associé à des périodes de stabilité anticyclonique de durée inhabituelle. Les hautes pressions ne sont pas d'origine thermique « locale », mais sont constamment alimentées par des
