Throughout this study, we examine the potential temperature field\Thetaon the 2-PVU surface, the so-called nominal tropopause. This quantity is chosen as our "weather map", as it concisely displays the dynamical processes taking place in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. As this qua...
As a compromise, a map size of 10-20 for cluster analysis and 20-30 for data projection is recommended for the study region. To account for the seasonality and latitudinal heterogeneity in the activity of synoptic systems, a relatively larger SOM size is needed to capture typical synoptic ...
Both simulations were forced with modified CLIMAP sea ice and sea surface temperatures (SSTs), reduced global CO2, ice sheet topography, lower sea level, and 21,000 BP orbital parameters. Results from the North Pacific show continued high storm activity during the LGM, whereas the North ...

WeatherForecastingIsentropic analysis provided the means for revealing a subsynoptic feature, the thermal line, that is virtually impossible to detect on a surface map. The initial convective activity occurred in the vicinity of this boundary rather than near the more salient surface features (e.g....
(ii) High pressure conditions at sea level over Central and Southeastern Europe are associated very often with intense activity of Azores High during blocking circulation developed at a continental scale. Blocking conditions usually prevent cold fronts from bringing relief to the hot weather [14] and...

Thunderstorms can generate intense electrical activity, hail, and result in substantial economic and human losses. The development of very short-term forecasting tools (nowcasting) is essential to provide information to alert systems in order to mobilize
The Sistan Basin has been recognized as one of the most active dust sources and windiest desert environments in the world. Although the dust activity in Sistan maximizes during the summer, rare but intense dust storms may also occur in the winter. This s
