Validation of the Aura High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder geopotential heights [PDF]
Abstract. Global satellite observations from the EOS Aura spacecraft's High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) of temperature and geopotential height (GPH) are discussed. The accuracy, resolution and precision of the HIRDLS version 7 algorithms are assessed and data screening recommendations are made.

Reanalysis of summer pressure systems affecting Iran\'s atmosphere [PDF]
This study investigates the subtropical anticyclones and summer monsoons of the north hemisphere in the 500 hPa level, effective on Iran in a 38-year period (1975-2012).

In the present study, we first examine the contribution of different, satellite-only or combined, global geopotential models in geoid computation employing the remove–compute–restore approach. For this reason, two test areas of about 100 km2 each, one in

Pacific Ocean Forcing and Atmospheric Variability are the Dominant Causes of Spatially Widespread Droughts in the Contiguous United States [PDF]
The contributions of oceanic and atmospheric variability to spatially widespread summer droughts in the contiguous United States (hereafter, pan-CONUS droughts) are investigated using 16-member ensembles of the Community Climate Model version 3 (CCM3 ...

Impacts of Spectral Nudging Parameters on Dynamical Downscaling in Summer over Mainland China
Spectral nudging is an important method of improving the effectiveness of dynamical downscaling in the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF). However, spectral nudging is sensitive to nudging parameters, and most related research has typically ...

Determination of the geopotential and orthometric height based on frequency shift equation [PDF]
The orthometric height (OH) system plays a key role in geodesy, and it has broad applications in various fields and activities. Based on general relativity theory (GRT), on an arbitrary equi-geo- potential surface, there does not exist the gravity frequency shift of an electromagnetic wave signal.

A Tropospheric Assessment of the ERA-40, NCEP, and JRA-25 Global Reanalyses in the Polar Regions [PDF]
The reliability of the global reanalyses in the polar regions is investigated. The overview stems from an April 2006 Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) workshop on the performance of global reanalyses in high latitudes held at the British ...

850 hPa Geopotential Height Link with Iraqi Precipitation and Temperature [PDF]
The study examines the connection between the geopotential height (Z850 hPa) and the temperature (°C) and precipitation (mm) in Iraq. The observation data for climatological parameters that are currently available from the Iraqi meteorological ...

We compare, for the overlapping time frame 1962-2000, the estimate of the northern hemisphere (NH) mid-latitude winter atmospheric variability within the XX century simulations of 17 global climate models (GCMs) included in the IPCC-4AR with the NCEP and

Islands and the mainland are separated by seas, and the distances between them might be so long that the height on the mainland cannot be exactly translated to the islands, resulting in different height systems on the mainland and the islands.
