This study addresses the applicability of general circulation models (GCMs) in studying the impact of climate change on hydrology. The statistical downscaling of precipitation based on circulation types (CTs) derived from the fuzzy, i.e., more than one ...

Cloud cover changes driven by atmospheric circulation in Europe during the last decades
Due to its complex role within the radiation budget of the Earth, cloud cover plays an important role in climate variability at local, regional or continental scale.

Assessing the ability of the 14C projection-age method to constrain the circulation of the past in a 3-D ocean model [PDF]
Radiocarbon differences between benthic and planktonic foraminifera (B-P ages) and radiocarbon projection ages are both used to determine changes of the past ocean circulation rate.

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 ...

Synoptic reorganization of atmospheric flow during the Last Glacial Maximum [PDF]
A coupled global atmosphere–ocean model of intermediate complexity is used to study the influence of glacial boundary conditions on the atmospheric circulation during the Last Glacial Maximum in a systematical manner. A web of atmospheric interactions is

Storyline description of Southern Hemisphere midlatitude circulation and precipitation response to greenhouse gas forcing [PDF]
As evidence of climate change strengthens, knowledge of its regional implications becomes an urgent need for decision making. Current understanding of regional precipitation changes is substantially limited by our understanding of the atmospheric ...

Classification, seasonality and persistence of low-frequency atmospheric circulation patterns
Orthogonally rotated principle component analysis (RPCA) of Northern Hemisphere 1-month mean 700 mb heights is used to identify and describe the seasonality and persistence of the major modes of interannual variability.

Water vapor and the dynamics of climate changes [PDF]
Water vapor is not only Earth's dominant greenhouse gas. Through the release of latent heat when it condenses, it also plays an active role in dynamic processes that shape the global circulation of the atmosphere and thus climate.
