  • Atmospheric Phenomena by Feist
    Atmospheric optical phenomena An introductory guide by Mike Feist Effects caused by water droplets— rainbows and coronae The most well known optical sky effect is the rainbow. This, as most people know, sometimes occurs when the Sun is out and it is raining. To see a rainbow you must stand with your back to the Sun with the raindrops in front of you. It does not have to be raining where you are standing but in the direction that you are looking. The arc of the primary (main) bow is centred on the antisolar point, the spot directly oppo- site the Sun, and has a radius of 42°. The antisolar point is actually centred on the shadow of your head. If the Sun is rising or setting and therefore on the horizon, the primary rainbow will be a complete semi- circle and the top will be 42° up in the sky. If, on the other hand, the Sun is 42° up in the sky, the primary bow will be on the horizon, the top just rising or setting. Con- ventionally the rainbow is said to have John Constable.

    Section 9 Development of and studies with coupled ocean-atmosphere models Global warming and Mean Indian summer monsoon Sujata K. Mandke*1, A K Sahai1, Mahesh Shinde1 and Susmita Joseph1 1Climate & Global Modeling Division, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune 411 008, India *[email protected] The rising level in concentration of green house gases(GHGs) in the atmosphere have led to enhanced radiative heating of the earth. Global warming is evident from increase in temperature, sea level rise etc(IPCC,1990,IPCC WG1 TAR,2001). The extreme events of climate system such as floods and droughts is projected(IPCC WG1 TAR, 2001). The impact of climate change on monsoon and its variability is a major issue for Indian subcontinent where agriculture and economic growth is strongly linked to behavior of monsoon. Current versions of Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Models(AOGCM) provide reliable simulations of the large scale features of the present day climate but there are uncertainties on regional scale. The present study emphasis the possible impact of climate change on the daily mean summer precipitation focusing on Indian region simulated by ten AOGCMs. Daily precipitation simulated by ten AOGCMs that participated in IPCC for fourth assessment report is used in the present study. The model output from variety of experiments carried out by different modeling groups throughout the world is archived by PCMDI and made available on request to international research community on pcmdi.llnl.gov/ipcc/about_ipcc.php website. Two experiments namely 1pctto2x (1% per year CO2 increase to doubling) and 1pctto4x (1% per year CO2 increase to quadrupling) have been used to study the influence of climate change relative to control experiment.

  • NOTES and CORRESPONDENCE Synoptic-Scale Controls of Summer
    15 FEBRUARY 2006 NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE 613 NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Synoptic-Scale Controls of Summer Precipitation in the Southeastern United States JEREMY E. DIEM Department of Anthropology and Geography, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia (Manuscript received 15 October 2004, in final form 11 August 2005) ABSTRACT Past climatological research has not quantitatively defined the synoptic-scale circulation deviations re- sponsible for anomalous summer-season precipitation totals in the southeastern United States. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to determine the synoptic-scale controls of wet and dry multiday periods during the summer within a portion of the southeastern United States as well as to assess the linkages between synoptic-scale circulation and multidecadal variations in precipitation characteristics for the study domain. Daily precipitation data from 30 stations for June, July, and August from 1953 to 2002 were converted into 13-day totals. Using standardized principal components analysis (PCA), the study domain was divided into three precipitation regions (i.e., South, Northwest, and Northeast). Wet and dry periods for each region were composed of the top 56 and bottom 56 thirteen-day periods. Composite circulation maps for 500 and 850 mb revealed the following: wet periods were generally associated with an upper-level trough over the interior southeastern United States coincident with strong lower-tropospheric flow into the South- east from the Gulf of Mexico, and dry periods were characterized by ridges or anticyclones over the midwestern and southeastern United States coupled with weak lower-tropospheric flow. Many of the wet periods had surface fronts. Over the 50-yr period, increased precipitation was significantly correlated with increased occurrences of midtropospheric troughs over the study domain.

  • Synoptic-Scale Controls of Fog and Low Clouds in the Namib Desert: Response to Reviewer 1
    Synoptic-scale controls of fog and low clouds in the Namib Desert: Response to Reviewer 1 Hendrik Andersen, Jan Cermak, Julia Fuchs, Peter Knippertz, Marco Gaetani, Julian Quinting, Sebastian Sippel, and Roland Vogt contact: [email protected] We would like to thank reviewer 1 for her/his careful review of the manuscript and her/his constructive criticism and valuable comments. Comments by the referee are colored in black, our replies or comments are colored in blue and italics. Using a 14-year period of reanalysis grids and backward trajectories, this study examines the impact of large-scale dynamics and thermodynamics on fog and low clouds (FLCs) over Namib. Specifically, the authors’ focus on two seasons when different FLC types are observed due to different synoptic-scale regimes. A main finding is that the mean sea level pressure (MSLP) field differs notably between clear and FLC days. To this end, the authors’ use a statistical model and MSLP fields to provide skillful prediction of FLCs up to one day in advance. A new conceptual model of the two different FLC regimes is developed to summarize findings and aid in future studies related to FLCs over Namib. In general, the scientific purpose is justified, the findings are important, and the paper is well-written; however, I do have concerns about some of the methods used. Overall, I think that the results are interesting and worthy of publication, and at this stage I suggest acceptance subject to major revisions. Major/general comments: 1. Use of MSLP, 2 m temperature, and 10 m winds to characterize synoptic-scale conditions This study relies on the assumption that near-surface (boundary layer) meteorological variables – specifically MSLP, 2 m temperature, and 10 m horizontal wind components – are representative of the large-scale dynamics.
