A new circulation type classification based upon Lagrangian air trajectories
(2014-10-24)
A new classification method of the large-scale circulation characteristic for a specific
target area (NW Iberian Peninsula) is presented, based on the analysis of 90-h backward
trajectories arriving in this area calculated ...
Major sources of moisture for Antarctic ice-core sites identified through a Lagrangian approach
(2010-02-16)
A Lagrangian method of diagnosis was used to identify the major sources of moisture for
principal Antarctic ice-core sites by back-tracking the air masses that ultimately reach these regions
for a 5 yr period (2000–2004). ...
Recent progress on the sources of continental precipitation as revealed by moisture transport analysis
(2020)
The assessment of sources of moisture is key to the understanding of the hydrological cycle at different time scales, because it enables the establishment of source-sink relationships and the identification of the main ...
Ocean Evaporation and Precipitation
(2012)
In view of the threat of global climate change , the proper understanding of the intensity of the hydrological cycle and of its development over time is one of the most important challenges of the century, at least in the ...
The residence time of water vapour in the atmosphere
(2021-07-13)
Atmospheric water vapour residence time (WVRT) is an essential indicator of how atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics mediate hydrological cycle responses to climate change. WVRT is also important in estimating moisture ...
Role of moisture transport for Central American precipitation
(2017)
A climatology of moisture sources linked with Central American precipitation was computed based upon Lagrangian trajectories for the analysis period 1980–2013. The response of the annual cycle of precipitation in terms of ...
Climate Perspectives in the Intra-Americas Seas
(2020)
The Intra–Americas Seas region is known for its relevance to air–sea interaction processes, the contrast between large water masses and a relatively small continental area, and the occurrence of extreme events. The differing ...
Oceanic and terrestrial sources of continental precipitation
(American Geophysical Union 50:1-41, 2012-11-08)
The most important sources of atmospheric moisture at the global scale are herein identified, both oceanic and terrestrial, and a characterization is made of how continental regions are influenced by water from different ...
