Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy precipitation on the alpine southside: An upper-level precursor
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of four separate autumnal events of very heavy precipitation on the southern slopes of the European Alps indicate that each was accompanied by a strikingly similar anomaly at upper-tropospheric levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The COPS field phase was performed from 1 June to 31 August 2007 in a low-mountain area in southwestern Germany/eastern France covering the Vosges mountains, the Rhine valley and the Black Forest mountains.
Journal ArticleDOI
The key role of diabatic processes in modifying the upper-tropospheric wave guide: a North Atlantic case-study
Christian M. Grams,Heini Wernli,Maxi Böttcher,Jana Čampa,Ulrich Corsmeier,Sarah C. Jones,Julia H. Keller,Claus-Jürgen Lenz,Lars Wiegand +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the importance of diabatic processes for the complex interaction of weather systems in the North Atlantic-European sector during the week of 7-14 September 2008.
Journal ArticleDOI
Northern Hemisphere Extratropical Cyclones: A Comparison of Detection and Tracking Methods and Different Reanalyses
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of three different cyclone detection and tracking schemes with reanalysis datasets is investigated with three different approaches, based on the ERA-40 dataset, and the results show that the cyclone intensity is a more robust measure of variability than the number of cyclones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of latent heat release in ascending air streams for atmospheric blocking
TL;DR: In this paper, a Lagrangian approach applied to reanalysis data shows that a large fraction of air masses are heated before entering a blocking system, pointing to a role for latent heating.
