The Impact of Regional Arctic Sea Ice Loss on Atmospheric Circulation and the NAO
, 2016Reduction of the Arctic sea ice cover can affect the atmospheric circulation and thus impact the climate beyond the Arctic. The atmospheric response may, however, vary with the geographical location of sea ice loss.

Jupiter's atmospheric circulation [PDF]
Nature, 1975 BY numerical integration of conventional meteorological equations at appropriate parameter values we have been able to reproduce most of the major characteristics of the Jovian atmosphere.

The Data on the Atmospheric Circulation
2001What we have learned so far can be applied to understanding the general circulation of the atmosphere. With this term, we mean all the large-scale motions that characterize the atmosphere of the Earth. We already know the general features of motions, in the sense that we expect them to be geostrophic or quasi-geostrophic.

Atmospheric General Circulation
2011Abstract This chapter briefly reviews the principal factors controlling the climate on our planet. We first summarize the global heat budget and then describe the large-scale convective cells and review the major wind systems. The chapter ends with weather forecasting and the particular challenge of simulating cloud dynamics.

Based on a comprehensive collection of hail observations and the NCEP–NCAR reanalyses from 1960 to 2012, the long-term trends of hail day frequency in mainland China and the associated changes in atmospheric circulation patterns were analyzed.

Atmospheric Circulation on Venus
2019Venus is a slowly rotating planet with a thick atmosphere (~9.2 MPa at the surface). Ground- and satellite-based observations have shown atmospheric superrotation (atmospheric rotation much faster than solid surface rotation), global-scale cloud patterns (e.g., Y-shaped and bow-shaped structures), and polar vortices (polar hot dipole and fine ...

Quantification of large-scale climate drivers of drought is necessary to understand better and manage these spatially extensive and often prolonged natural hazards. Here, this issue is advanced at the continental scale for Europe.

The General Circulation of the Atmosphere
1986Large-scale processes in the atmosphere (synoptic and global processes) require an individual description. Since the large-scale movements are practically quasi-static and nondiverging, they can be described in an appropriate form by simplified equations of hydrodynamics (in which for the quasi-static approximation it is necessary to use the so-called “

The General Circulation of the Atmosphere
1985The GAC concept occupies an important place in modern meteorology, although there is no synonymous definition for it. Most often, GAC is understood to be a set of different synoptic situations which are constantly, or nearly constantly, found in the atmosphere (action centres, stream currents, monsoon circulation, intertropical convergence zone, etc.).

Circulation in the upper atmosphere
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1956The winds in the region of the atmosphere from 20 to 100 km elevation over the northern hemisphere are critically examined. The summer and winter temperatures are computed from the wind field with the aid of rocket mean pressure data and under the assumption that the wind field is geostrophic.
