Hi,

I think atmospheric processes over Europe have already been studies since long and the literature can be found in libraries and now on net. The following some links may help you.

Have a look to the ECMWF numerical weather model at www.ecmwf.int to learn details on westerly winds and air masses to have en idea on atmospheric circulation in Europe. As concerns each part of Europe you have to consider the jets. E.g over Spain polar and subtropical jets circulations moving north Atlantic humid air mass and subtropical hot and humid air masses crossing the Mediterranean Sea. For this purpose you can use HIRLAM model and the information included in www.aemet.es

Thank you very much for the answers Tariq Masood Ali Khan and Paloma Castro Lobera!

But I mean the fundamental research - has generated standardization process circulation, which is the template for the type definitions for the circulation - European Region (or Global).

Interested specific standardization process circulation. For example, in the former USSR was development standardization process circulation of the Northern Hemisphere, the work was done in 30-40 years of the twentieth century. That is the fundamental work by Dzerdzeevsky`s http://atmospheric-circulation.ru/about-us/,

his article http://atmospheric-circulation.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/DZERDZEEVSKII-1962-Tellus.pdf  and articlehis direct student Kononova NK http://atmospheric-circulation.ru/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/fluctuations.pdf.

I am interested in whether such standardization atmospheric circulation in the other academic schools. Interested basic principles typing, sectors and areas of particular types of atmospheric circulation for the European sector.

Dear Vadim,

you may find here (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/joc.1036/epdf) this standardized procedure we developed in the Tel Aviv University in 2001 for the Eastern Mediterranean and have published since then several papers based on it starting from the paper in the link above. The synoptic types issue is widely applicable, from the climate change to the dust transport research, therefore this procedure is being continuously applied here twice a year, to have each daily synoptic system classified, based on the same training set we built in 2001. You may find (1) the detailed basics of the procedure; (2) several examples of its applications; (3) wide list of the references on the various European synoptic classifications in my PhD Thesis http://primage.tau.ac.il/libraries/theses/exeng/free/2079562.pdf. Good Luck! Isabella

Isabela sincerely thank you for your reply and articles!

These are of interest to me.

We wish you luck!

Hello Vadim,

you might like to look at the early weather typing efforts from Hubert Lamb:

Lamb, H., 1972: British Isles weather types and a register of the

daily sequence of circulation patterns 1861–1971. Geophysi-

cal Memoirs, No. 116, HMSO, 85 pp.

and the Grosswetterlagen of Baur for central Europe which are discussed in here:

James, P., 2006: An assessment of European synoptic variability in

Hadley Centre Global Environmental models based on an

objective classification of weather regimes. Climate Dyn., 27,

215–231.

The following paper may also be of interest as it uses k-means clustering which is an objective weather pattern technique:

Cluster analysis of North Atlantic-European weather types.

Fereday D., J.R. Knight, A.A. Scaife, C.K. Folland and A. Philipp 2008.

J. Clim., 21, 3687-3703.

Best regards

Adam

Thank you Adam A. Scaife!

Must Read next few days.
