Journal ArticleDOI
A lagrangian‐based analysis of extratropical cyclones. I: The method and some applications
Heini Wernli,Huw C. Davies +1 more
TL;DR: A Lagrangian-based method of analysis is introduced to examine the space-time structure and dynamics of extratropical cyclogenesis and can provide a qualitative depiction of, quantitative information about, and dynamical insight into, key features of mid-latitude cyclones.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Influence of Stratosphere-Troposphere Exchange in a Changing Climate on Atmospheric Transport and Oxidation Capacity (STACCATO), recently funded by the European Union, provides a review of stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE), with a focus on processes in the extratropics.

TL;DR: In this article, the variability of results from different automated methods of detection and tracking of extratropical cyclones is assessed in order to identify uncertainties related to the choice of method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interannual variability of Greenland winter precipitation sources: Lagrangian moisture diagnostic and North Atlantic Oscillation influence
TL;DR: In this paper, a Lagrangian diagnostic for identifying the sources of water vapor for precipitation over the Greenland ice sheet for 30 selected months with pronounced positive, negative and neutral North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index, using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts' ERA-40 reanalysis data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Cyclones in the ERA-40 Dataset (1958–2001). Part I: Novel Identification Method and Global Climatology
Heini Wernli,Cornelia Schwierz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a cyclone is identified as the finite area that surrounds a local SLP minimum and is enclosed by the outermost closed SLP contour, and the cyclone identification procedure can be applied to individual time instants, and cyclone frequency, fc, are obtained by simple time averaging.
