  • Analysis of `Miholjday Summer' for Belgrade and Serbia Region
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLIMATOLOGY Int. J. Climatol. 26: 1489–1499 (2006) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com) DOI: 10.1002/joc.1390 ANALYSIS OF ‘MIHOLJDAY SUMMER’ FOR BELGRADE AND SERBIA REGION NEDELJKO TODOROVIC´ a* and DRAGANA VUJOVIC´ b* a Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia, Belgrade, Yugoslavia b Department of Meteorology, Faculty of Physics, Belgrade, Yugoslavia Received 30 May 2006 Revised 14 February 2006 Accepted 11 April 2006 ABSTRACT Typical weather conditions with dry and warm features occur in autumn months, with temperatures above the normal temperatures for this period of the year for the Belgrade and Serbia region. Temperatures have values like the ones for the end of summer. That period of fair weather is called Miholjday (St Michael) summer (MS). An analysis of temperature has been the most important criterion for defining MS. Synoptic situation and temperature conditions during that period are analyzed and typical and atypical MSs are defined for Belgrade and Serbia region. The frequency of MS in the period 1946–2004 for Belgrade region is also analyzed. The general definition (Glossary of Meteorology) is assumed and we gave the specific definition of MS for Belgrade and Serbia region on the basis of real weather for longer series of observations. Copyright 2006 Royal Meteorological Society. KEY WORDS: summer climate variability; weather singularity; weather classification; synoptic climatology 1. INTRODUCTION Miholjday summer (MS) appears in autumn, in the period from the middle of September to the beginning of November. The name is related with Miholjday, the Christian feast celebrated on 12 October in the Orthodox Church (29 September in the Catholic Church).

    ESSENTIALS OF METEOROLOGY (7th ed.) GLOSSARY Chapter 1 Aerosols Tiny suspended solid particles (dust, smoke, etc.) or liquid droplets that enter the atmosphere from either natural or human (anthropogenic) sources, such as the burning of fossil fuels. Sulfur-containing fossil fuels, such as coal, produce sulfate aerosols. Air density The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume occupied by it. Air density is usually expressed as g/cm3 or kg/m3. Also See Density. Air pressure The pressure exerted by the mass of air above a given point, usually expressed in millibars (mb), inches of (atmospheric mercury (Hg) or in hectopascals (hPa). pressure) Atmosphere The envelope of gases that surround a planet and are held to it by the planet's gravitational attraction. The earth's atmosphere is mainly nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide (CO2) A colorless, odorless gas whose concentration is about 0.039 percent (390 ppm) in a volume of air near sea level. It is a selective absorber of infrared radiation and, consequently, it is important in the earth's atmospheric greenhouse effect. Solid CO2 is called dry ice. Climate The accumulation of daily and seasonal weather events over a long period of time. Front The transition zone between two distinct air masses. Hurricane A tropical cyclone having winds in excess of 64 knots (74 mi/hr). Ionosphere An electrified region of the upper atmosphere where fairly large concentrations of ions and free electrons exist. Lapse rate The rate at which an atmospheric variable (usually temperature) decreases with height. (See Environmental lapse rate.) Mesosphere The atmospheric layer between the stratosphere and the thermosphere.

  • Autumn Storm, October 2013
    Autumn storm, October 2013 A powerful autumn storm brought damaging winds across much of southern England on 28 October 2013. The storm was due to a fast-moving, vigorous Atlantic depression, bringing both very strong winds and heavy rain. Winds gusted widely at 50-60 knots (58-69 mph) and reached 60-70 knots (69-81 mph) across south- east England. The highest recorded gust speed was 86 knots (99 mph) at Needles Old Battery (Isle of Wight). Most of the damage was associated with falling trees - still in full leaf at this time of year - and this storm is judged to be within the top ten most severe storms to affect southern England in the autumn in the last 40 years. However, it was not in the same category as the Great Storm of 16 October 1987. Impacts Most of the storm's impacts were due to damaging gusts of wind. Four people were killed in Kent, Watford and west London and there was severe disruption to transport networks with train services for commuters suspended, reduced flights, disruption on roads, and ferry services cancelled. Over 600,000 homes were le without power as branches brought down power lines. Amongst other impacts, the Helter-Skelter on Clacton Pier (Essex) was blown down. Weather data Synoptic situation at 0600 UTC 28 October 2013 The graph below shows mean sea level pressure recorded at four stations - St Marys Airport (Isles of Scilly), Chivenor (Devon), Benson (Oxfordshire) and Wattisham (Suffolk). The storm continued to deepen and intensify as it crossed southern England. The strong winds were accompanied by heavy rain, bringing 30-50 mm across parts of Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex.

  • Temperate Climate Zone in Australia
    Task 1 Using the following pictures record your thoughts and feelings. Use the below ‘5 Senses Template’ to help you do this. Use your imagination to help you with the tastes and sounds. Task 2 Read the rest of the PowerPoint and make a note of any WONDERINGS or QUESTIONS which you have. A WONDERING is anything which you found interesting or made you think. A QUESTION is something which you want to learn more about. Climate Zones Around the World Climate is the weather that a particular place experiences over a long period of time. Climate zones are based on temperature and rainfall. Here is a simple breakdown of the world’s main climate zones. Polar – very cold and dry all year round. Continental – long, cold winters with shorter summers. Temperate – cool winters and mild summers. Tropical – hot, humid and wet all year round. Arid – very hot and dry all year round. Climate Zones in Australia The continent of Australia can be divided into three main climate zones – arid (hot and dry), tropical (hot and wet) and temperate (cool). The arid zone covers 70% of the continent. This land is classified as arid or semi-arid. The tropical zone is located in the far north of the continent. The temperate zone is located in the south- east, south and south-west of the continent. The Temperate Climate Zone in Australia Temperate climates are cooler than tropical climates. They experience the four distinct seasons of summer, autumn, winter and spring. The temperate climate zone of Australia experiences a variation in temperature and rainfall during the year, depending on the season.

In Lolo’s youth she saw her hometown in western Holland implode under the impact of war, until all animals, birds and rodents were eaten, all fish angled, all trees used for firewood and a long winter of famine ensued during which 24,000 people died of starvation in an area approximately a sixteenth the size of Tasmania. Food security has been Lolo’s life-long preoccupation and this book is an offering for survival to those who have never even grown a radish. Lolo Houbein was educated at the universities of Adelaide and Papua New Guinea in the literatures of Australia, Britain, Papua New Guinea, the Pacific and Africa, classical studies, world religions and anthropology. She is well known as an author of fiction and non-fiction. Her novel Walk a Barefoot Road won the Bicentennial/ABC Fiction Award.
