The answers will depend on which factors — such as atmospheric flow, rainfall anomalies, condition of the ground surface, or sea surface temperature — are more likely to cause heat waves in specific regions.

The Potsdam Institute's research lists sixteen July and August periods since 1980 that have had extreme atmospheric flow patterns due to quasiresonance.

My subfield of atmospheric and oceanic sciences is large - scale atmospheric dynamics — basically the fluid mechanics of atmospheric flows with horizontal scales of hundreds to thousands of kilometers (on Earth and Mars, at least).

But in 1904 another physicist, the Norwegian Vilhelm Bjerknes, had put forth the idea that his «primitive equations» — a set of differential equations providing for a reasonable mathematical description atmospheric flow — could provide the foundation for numerically - based weather prediction methods that could potentially be much more accurate than existing methods.

With the aid of an innovative uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV), referred to as an Aerosonde, an intensive late winter / early spring observing period will be conducted that will quantify the surface energy budget components over the polynya and adjacent sea ice, describe the forcing for and near surface properties of regional mesoscale atmospheric flows responsible for polynya formation, and document the oceanic response to these flows at high vertical and temporal resolution.

Atmospheric science professors Nate Brunsell and David Mechem in KU's Department of Geography are co-authors of a new study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by an international research group that evaluated the effects of large wind farms on atmospheric flow and its implications for how much renewable energy the turbines can generate.

Francis argued that the warming of the Arctic, at a much faster pace than the mid-latitudes, is slowing the jet stream and prompting extreme weather events when there's weak atmospheric flow.

Deser et al. imply that information about the future regional climate is more blurred than previously anticipated because of large - scale atmospheric flow responsible for variations in regional climates.

The researchers carried out simulations of flow on soap bubbles, reproducing the curvature of the atmosphere and approximating as closely as possible a simple model of atmospheric flow.

Our work is a «downscaling» study, in which we first simulate past hurricane seasons, using as input observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs), the observed state of the atmosphere at the boundaries of our Atlantic domain, as well as the largest scales in the atmospheric flow over the Atlantic.

The atmospheric flow will also have an influence, as strong vertical wind shear can inhibit cyclogenesis (spawning of cyclones).

Conversely, due to well - researched upper - atmospheric flow (e.g. vertical shear) configurations favorable to Atlantic hurricane development and intensification, La Nina falls tend to favor very active seasons in the Atlantic (El Nino years are the converse, with must less activity, as forecast by Gray and NOAA for 2009).
