It will be published by the State Land Service of the Republic of Latvia in spring 2004. The gazetteer is compiled by the Laboratory of Toponymy, Board of Cartography, State Land Service. It includes the names of the most significant geographic objects of Latvia – all the cities and towns, the largest villages, the main features of the Baltic Sea and coast, the largest lakes, the longest rivers, uplands and their highiest hills. Besides the geographical names it contains the following information: the kind of feature to which the name applies, the geographical coordinates and the administrative location of the feature, as well as, some basic facts about the feature. The publication consists of an introductory texts in Latvian and English, lists of 690 names and four appendixes (including two maps, scale 1:1 000 000 and the List of admi- nistrative and territorial division units according the situation on the 1st of January, 2004). 2 The First Gazetter of Latvia 1: 1000 000 The first Concise Gazetteer of Latvia, scale 1:1000 000, is compiled by the Laboratory of Toponymy, Board of Cartography, State Land Service of the Republic of Latvia.

INTRODUCTION The goal of this study is to, when feasible Understanding of cyclone structural evolution within the ERA40 data, extend and refine the structural both during and beyond the tropical stage has increased characteristics of existing best-track cyclones. These tremendously over the past fifty years through various refinements may include the tropical or extratropical satellite-based, model-based, and analysis-based transition points in the lifecycle or the genesis point of classifications. This new knowledge has brought tropical cyclones that formed from cold-core origins. forward the reanalysis of historical storms in the context Finally, through a detailed examination of the full 45 of present understanding (Landsea et al. 2004) in order years, several cyclones were found of warm-core or to extend and revise the National Hurricane Center’s hybrid structure that may qualify for subtropical or (NHC) North Atlantic hurricane database (HURDAT; tropical status, but were not documented within the Neumann et al. 1993).

Stable water isotopes are powerful indicators of meteorological processes on a broad range of scales, reflecting evap- oration, condensation, and airmass mixing processes. With the recent advent of fast laser-based spectroscopic methods it has become possible to measure the stable isotopic composition of atmospheric water vapour in situ at high temporal resolution, enabling to tremendously extend the measurement data base in space and time. Here we present the first set of airborne spectro- 5 scopic stable water isotopes measurements over the western Mediterranean. Measurements have been acquired by a customised Picarro L2130-i cavity-ring down spectrometer deployed onboard of the Dornier 128 D-IBUF aircraft together with a meteoro- logical flux measurement package during the HyMeX SOP1 field campaign in Corsica, France during September and October 2012.
