Uncovering the Drivers of the Equatorial Ocean Surface Winds
Wind Patterns along the Equator. Shown are daily mean wind patterns along the equatorial basin indicated in Figure 1a as a meridional mean along −2∘$$ -{2}^{\circ } $$ to +2∘$$ +{2}^{\circ } $$ latitude, land cells included, from a 2‐year ICON simulation. Five ocean basins are shown in black. Yellow boxes outline the seasons and ocean basins, which are

On the potential use of radar-derived information in operational numerical weather prediction [PDF]
Estimates of requirements likely to be levied on a new observing system for mesoscale meteonology are given. Potential observing systems for mesoscale numerical weather prediction are discussed.

Sensitivity of desert dust emissions to model horizontal grid spacing during the Bodélé Dust Experiment 2005 [PDF]
The impact of model horizontal grid spacing on meteorology and dust emissions in the Bodélé depression was investigated during the well-documented period of the Bodélé Dust Experiment 2005 (BoDEx 2005). Five horizontal grid spacing ranging from 100 km to

Multistep variational data assimilation: important issues and a spectral approach
In this paper, two important issues are raised for multistep variational data assimilation in which broadly distributed coarse-resolution observations are analysed in the first step, and then locally distributed high-resolution observations are analysed ...

Observation and backward trajectory of an inertio-gravity wave in the lower stratosphere [PDF]
A Doppler lidar observation of an inertio-gravity wave in the mid-latitude lower stratosphere is presented. The wave packet characteristics (vertical and horizontal wavenumbers, intrinsic and apparent frequencies) are inferred from the analysis ...

We studied a renowned local wind in Japan, “Kiyokawa‐dashi,” with a numerical model and high‐density observations at approximately 1‐km intervals. “Kiyokawa‐dashi” typically begins with intense winds descending onto a confined area leeward of a gorge at the initiation stage and expands over the entire plain at the mature stage.

Regional model simulation of the hydrometeorological effects of the Fucino Lake on the surrounding region [PDF]
The drainage of the Fucino Lake of central Italy was completed in 1873, and this possibly caused significant climatic changes over the Fucino basin.

Rapid versus slow intensification of idealized tropical cyclones using soundings from reanalysis
Climatologically averaged environmental wind and moisture around intensifying tropical cyclones are used in an idealized model to further discriminate differences between ensembles of rapidly (RI) and slowly (SI) intensifying storms. On average, RI storms have lower vertical tilt, are more axisymmetric, and less ventilated at onset than SI storms, and ...
