Sentences with phrase «similar atmospheric waves»

Not exact matches

«Analysis of observations indicate that this heat wave was mainly due to internal atmospheric dynamical processes that produced and maintained a strong and long - lived blocking event, and that similar atmospheric patterns have occurred with prior heat waves in this region.

While the blocking pattern associated with the 2010 event was unusually intense and persistent, its major features were similar to atmospheric patterns associated with prior extreme heat wave events in the region since 1880, the researchers found.

We may yet find that climate change was responsible for how bad the Pakistan floods were, for how much rain fell, but for now, it looks like a similar atmospheric blocking action that kept storms pretty much in one place, the same action that made eastern Russia have the long deadly heat wave and Siberia have an opposite cold wave.

This heating excites wave trains, or groups of similar - sized atmospheric waves, that propagate northward, connecting the central equatorial Pacific to North America.
