General circulation modelling of close-in extrasolar giant planets [PDF]
PhDA large fraction of the extrasolar planets detected so far are giant planets that have such short orbital periods (a few days) that they are thought to be tidally-synchronised with the host star. Such orbits lead to permanent day/night sides on the

The roles of atmospheric circulation and sea surface temperature in UK surface climate
Atmospheric circulation has been identified as a key driver of recent extreme seasons in the UK, while local sea surface temperature (SST) also influences UK surface climate. Here, we investigate the roles of atmospheric circulation and SST in driving UK

Influence of warming and atmospheric circulation changes on multidecadal European flood variability [PDF]
European flood frequency and intensity change on a multidecadal scale. Floods were more frequent in the 19th (central Europe) and early 20th century (western Europe) than during the mid-20th century and again more frequent since the 1970s.

The Impact of Mesoscale Processes on the Atmospheric Circulation of Mars [PDF]
The study of the modern martian atmosphere is (1) a key to the climate of Mars’s past; (2) useful for comparison with other terrestrial planets such as the Earth; and (3) can support hazard analysis and weather forecasting for future exploration and ...

The General Circulation of the Tropical Atmosphere and Climate Changes [PDF]
I examine the general circulation of the tropical atmosphere and climate changes. First, the response of the zonal surface temperature gradients and zonally asymmetric tropical overturning circulations (Walker circulations) to substantial changes in the ...

Atmospheric circulation and the precipitation variability in Serbia for period 1949-2004 [PDF]
In this paper we have analyzed the correlation between the atmospheric circulation and annual precipitation in Serbia for period 1949-2004. The data for frequency Hess-Brezowsky circulation forms and types were used as indicators of atmospheric ...

Atmospheric trends explained by changes in frequency of short-term circulation patterns
The circulation of the atmosphere is subject to natural and anthropogenic forcings that alter the energy balance of the climate system. In each hemisphere the zonally averaged atmospheric circulation can be represented by a single overturning cell if ...
