These ocean upwelling conditions occur beneath a complementary downwelling branch of the atmosphere's Hadley circulation — a planetary - scale flow pattern in both hemispheres that takes humid air ascending at low latitudes, heats and desiccates it in deep precipitating tropical clouds, and then sinks it at midlatitudes, where it is considerably warmer and drier than it was.

Kniveton and Todd [2001] found evidence of a statistically strong relationship between cosmic ray flux, precipitation and precipitation efficiency over ocean surfaces at midlatitudes to high latitudes, and they pointed out that their results are broadly consistent with the current density - cloud hypothesis.

At the midlatitudes, the westerly winds push surface seawater eastward in the same direction as Earth's rotation.

Those waves, in turn, led to the formation at midlatitudes of high - pressure systems, or «ridges.»

As a result, they will be able to make only brief contact with rovers or landers at midlatitudes — typically just one eight - minute contact each day.

At the time, the rocks would have been forming in tens of meters of cooler water at midlatitudes.

On the other hand, in the midlatitudes — in the temperate zones where we live and where many of the grain belts of Europe and North America are located — a little bit of warming in some cases is not a bad thing, at least not at first.

The paper is «an important contribution» and «a new perspective on mechanisms linking Arctic amplification with midlatitude weather patterns,» says Jennifer Francis, a climatologist at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, in New Jersey.

The solar jet stream, a slow current originating at solar midlatitudes that pushes toward both the equator and the poles, provides a different window into the sun's roiling innards.

Reversal of three global atmospheric fields linking changes in SST anomalies in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans at tropical latitudes and midlatitudes

I guess the general idea there is that commercial planes fly a little bit into the stratosphere (at least in midlatitudes), and are therefore above the region of rapid tropospheric mixing.

It's possible that one could see an increase in Arctic storminess at the same time the maximum global windspeed of midlatitude storms was going down modestly.

Model simulations for the North Atlantic Ocean and thermodynamic principles reveal that this feedback should be stronger, at present, in colder midlatitude and subpolar waters because of the lower present - day buffer capacity and elevated DIC levels driven either by northward advected surface water and / or excess local air - sea CO2 uptake.

The impact of midlatitude sea surface temperature anomalies on the annular modes is thought to be small, at least on intraseasonal suggest interannual timescales.

Thus, surface waters under the subtropical anticyclone are driven toward the midlatitudes at about 30 ° N.

The equations for Rossby waves (Calculation of the Meridional Wave Number, Physics of the Parameter, and Calculation of the Amplitudes) show that this can occur if a set of necessary conditions are met: u ¯ > 0 in the midlatitude region; the highest value of l within the waveguide is in the range of the meridional wave numbers lm dominantly contributing to the external forcing with a given m, which provides closeness of the k waves to respective m waves not only in terms of the zonal but also the meridional wave numbers, favoring the QRA of the m waves; the total latitudinal width of the waveguide is no less than the characteristic spatial scale of the relevant Airy function (25), which is used as the boundary condition at its southern and northern boundaries; and latitudinal distribution of l is sufficiently smooth in the waveguide, and both TPs lie within a midlatitude region of ∼ 25 ° N — 30 ° N and ∼ 65 ° N − 70 ° N, as the necessary condition for the application of quasilinear Wentzel − Kramers − Brillouin (WKB) method (25) when solving the equations for Rossby waves.

Overall, the results of our calculations of the amplitudes of the waves with m = 6, 7, and 8 in the field of the midlatitude meridional velocity at 300 hPa suggest that 12 of the 17 HPA events during May − September of 2012 and 2013 substantially coincided or were preceded by QRA events up to 2 wk earlier (see Fig. 1).

1a designates the amplitude of the 15 - d running means of the external thermal + orographic barotropic forcing with zonal wave number m at the EBL, averaged over the midlatitude belt Δ = 37.5 ° − 57.5 ° N.

However, under specific conditions, two strongly reflecting points [the so - called turning points (TPs)-RSB- can emerge for these waves in the midlatitudes, at which the square of their meridional number, l2, changes sign, with l2 > 0 between the TPs.

At high latitudes the upwelling brings air rich in the heavy molecular constituents N2 and O2 to high altitudes and the circulation carries this molecular - rich air to midlatitudes, especially in the summer hemisphere, where the mean meridional circulation is already equatorward.

With that caveat, the face - value 35 - year trend in zonal - average annual - average specific humidity q is significantly negative at all altitudes above 850 hPa (roughly the top of the convective boundary layer) in the tropics and southern midlatitudes and at altitudes above 600 hPa in the northern midlatitudes.

Part of the flow descends in the subtropical high - pressure belts, and the remainder merges at high altitudes with the midlatitude westerly winds farther poleward.

NSF - funded scientists believe at least part of the answer lies in the frozen tundras of Siberia, where greater - than - average autumn snowfall causes weather patterns in the Arctic regions to shift southward into the midlatitudes during the winter, while less - than - average snowfall causes the patterns to retreat poleward.

the face - value 35 - year trend in zonal - average annual - average specific humidity q is significantly negative at all altitudes above 850 hPa (roughly the top of the convective boundary layer) in the tropics and southern midlatitudes and at altitudes above 600 hPa in the northern midlatitudes.

Re: Ryan Maue (# 243), In the same vein as an earlier post (# 202) you made, does the existence / nonexistence of the trend depend at all on the definition of «midlatitudes»?
