While sea spray can significantly impact air–sea heat fluxes, the effect of spray produced by the interaction of wind and waves is not explicitly addressed in current operational numerical models. In the present work, the thermal effects of the sea spray were investigated for an idealized tropica...
cyclones. Despite weather conditions influencing high concentrations, 60% of long-distance air mass transport to Secunda from Mpumalanga province increased to extreme PM10concentrations. Furthermore, long-term weather shifts have been observed to positively impact reducing the concentration of PM10extreme ...
Standard deviations are high, due to variability in the arrival of African dust plumes. The longitudinal mean NO2 is low in the east, and rises westward over the urban centers, peaking near San Juan (66 °W) and Kingston (78 °W). Near-surface O3 is also low in the open Atlantic ...
From July to September, monsoon rainfall becomes relatively weakened, and convective thunderstorms and tropical cyclones contribute appreciably to the rainfall in Guangzhou [33,34]. The first two periods are also called the first rainy season, while the third period is called the second rainy season...
It is generally advocated that the intrusion frequency of strong CAOs has declined over the past several decades in northern China [10,11,12]. One likely reason for this is that with the increase of average seasonal temperatures, the “low” temperature also accordingly rises; as such, the ...
(Figure 1b), thereby mimicing the vertical transport by convective plumes in nature. In moist regions, condensation continuously heats rising parcels, allowing for deep convective updrafts. Note also that when a warm parcel rises, nearby parcels subside (Figure 1b), which is also true of air...
