Download or read book Wind Systems and Energy Balance in the Dead Sea Valley written by Metzger, Jutta and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new measurement concept was developed to determine the amount, variability and governing factors of evaporation from the Dead Sea. Additionally, a suitable indirect method to calculate evaporation is presented. Results show that vapour pressure deficit and wind speed are governing evaporation and that the diurnal cycle is determined by three distinct diurnal wind systems. The occurrence frequency and intensity of the wind systems are determined by local differential cooling and heating.
Download or read book Wind Systems in the Dead Sea and Footprints in Seismic Records written by Lott, Friederike Franziska and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atmospheric processes, such as wind, impact the ground motion of the earth and have the potential to induce strong broad-band noise in seismological records. In order to quantify the influence of wind on ground motion velocity joint seismological and meteorological measurements were conducted at the Dead Sea.Results reveal a pronounced impact of wind on seismological records. A methodology is presented to account for the dependency of PSD of ground motion velocity on the horizontal wind field.
Download or read book Assessing the Aerosol Impact on Southern West African Clouds and Atmospheric Dynamics written by Deetz, Konrad and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By using COSMO-ART, highly resolved process study simulations for 2-3 July 2016 are conducted to assess the aerosol effect on the meteorological conditions of southern West Africa. The meteorological phenomenon Evening Monsoon Flow Enhancement (EMFE) is identified as highly susceptible to the aerosol direct effect, leading to a spatial shift of the EMFE front. In a second aerosol feedback chain the aerosol variation leads to a temporal shift of the stratus-to-cumulus transition.

Download or read book Perspectives on warm conveyor belts sensitivities to ensemble configuration and the role for forecast error written by Pickl, Moritz and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-30 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warm conveyor belts (WCBs) are weather systems that substantially modulate the large-scale extratropical circulation. As they can amplify forecast errors and project them onto the Rossby wave pattern, they are of high relevance for numerical weather prediction. This work elaborates on two aspects of WCBs in the context of ensemble forecasts: (1) sensitivities of WCBs to the representation of initial condition and model uncertainties, and (2) the role of WCBs for forecast error growth.
Download or read book Contrails and Climate Engineering Process Studies on Natural and Artificial High Level Clouds and Their Impact on the Radiative Fluxes written by Gruber, Simon and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-22 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two aspects of anthropogenic impacts on the atmosphere are investigated using means of numerical weather prediction. A case study is conducted to estimate the impact of such artificial clouds on the incoming solar radiation at the Earth's surface with special regard to photovoltaic power production. Furthermore, simulations are performed to assess the efficacy of injecting particles into the Arctic troposphere with the aim of modifying cirrus clouds for counteracting global warming.

Download or read book Convective precipitation simulated with ICON over heterogeneous surfaces in dependence on model and land surface resolution written by Singh, Shweta and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of land-surface properties like vegetation, soil type, soil moisture, and the orography on the atmosphere is manifold. These features determine the evolution of the atmospheric boundary layer, convective conditions, cloud evolution and precipitation. The impact of model grid spacing and land-surface resolution on convective precipitation over heterogeneous surfaces is investigated using ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic (ICON) simulations within the framework of the HD(CP)2 project.
Download or read book Representation of warm conveyor belts in sub seasonal forecast models and the link to Atlantic European weather regimes written by Wandel, Jan Lucas and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study systematically investigates the representation of warm conveyor belts (WCBs) in large reforecast data sets of different numerical weather prediction models and evaluates the role of WCBs for the onset and life cycle of Atlantic-European weather regimes. The results emphasize the importance of accurate forecast of WCBs for sub-seasonal prediction on time scales beyond two weeks and tie the low forecast skill of blocked weather regimes over Europe to misrepresented WCBs.

The second part (Chapters 10-14) of this work is devoted to a survey of applied climatology. This part presents information on weather forecasting, rainfall enhancement, air quality monitoring, and various climatological aspects of planning. There is no sharp division between theoretical and applied climatology topics. Moreover, though various sections seem exclusively theoretical, they also include important applications for various real life situations (such as rainfall intensities (Section 5. 3), frost, frost damage (Section 6. 2. 4), degree-days (Section 6. 2. 5) and heat stress (Section 6. 2. 6). Professionals and university students of geography and earth science, meteorology and climatology, even high school students majoring in geography will be able to use this book as a basic reference work. Researchers in atmospheric science can also use this work as an important source of reference. Students of agriculture will also gain theoretical and practical insights.
