Journal ArticleDOI
Anticlockwise Rotation, Eccentricity and Tilt Angle of the Wind Hodograph. Part II: An Observational Study
Pinhas Alpert,M. Kusuda,N. Abe +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived expressions for the eccentricity and tilt angle of the surface-wind hodograph at different latitudes as functions of the amplitude and phase shift of the horizontal thermal force and also of some reasonable frictional parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting and adjusting artificial biases of long-term temperature records in Israel
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Simulation of Florida Summer Convection Using the PLACE Land Model and a 1.5-Order Turbulence Parameterization Coupled to the Penn State–NCAR Mesoscale Model
Barry H. Lynn,David R. Stauffer,Peter J. Wetzel,Wei-Kuo Tao,Pinhas Alpert,Nataly Perlin,R. David Baker,Ricardo C. Muñoz,Aaron Boone,Yiqin Jia +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, three major modifications to the treatment of land surface processes in the National Center for Atmospheric Research mesoscale model MM5, are tested in a matrix of eight model experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the urban orographic rainfall anomaly in jerusalem--a numerical study
H. Shafir,Pinhas Alpert +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution meso-γ scale indexing of the orographic precipitation over the Judean Mountains in Israel suggests a positive urban precipitation anomaly in Jerusalem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tropical tele-connections to the Mediterranean climate and weather
Pinhas Alpert,Colin Price,S. O. Krichak,Baruch Ziv,Hadas Saaroni,I. Osetinsky,J. Barkan,Pavel Kishcha +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between extreme summer temperatures and the Indian Monsoon was examined, and high resolution modelling of the severe flood on 3-5 December 2001 in Israel suggests a relation to hurricane Olga, while other tropical factors like the Red-Sea Trough system and Saharan dust are also likely to contribute to the EM climate variability.
