Abstract. Rural-to-urban transformation (RUT) is the process of turning a rural or natural land surface into an urban one, which brings about important modifications in surface, causing well-known effects like heat island (UHI), reduced wind speeds, and increased boundary layer heights. Moreover, with concentrated human activities, RUT introduces new emission sources greatly perturb local regional air pollution. Particulate matter (PM) one key pollutants responsible for deterioration quality...
Abstract. Convection influences climate and weather events over a wide range of spatial temporal scales. Therefore, accurate predictions the time location convection its development into severe are great importance. has to be parameterized in global models Earth system as key physical processes occur at scales much lower than model grid size. This parameterization is also used some numerical prediction (NWP) when not explicitly resolved. The schemes described literature represent physics by...
The characterization of the stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE) is fundamental to its role in global atmospheric budget chemical constituents. troposphere-to-stratosphere transport can inject anthropogenic pollutants from Earth’s surface into stratosphere, changing composition and influencing radiative processes. For instance, Asian Tropopause Aerosol Layer, with a main known pathway via summer monsoon, has been shown have cooling effect on surface. Here we propose previously...
Evaluating satellite ability in capturing sudden natural disasters such as heavy snowstorms is a topic of societal interest. This paper presents rapid qualitative analysis an intense snowfall Madrid using data from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, specifically GPM IMERG (Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM) Late L3 Half Hourly 0.1° × V06 estimates precipitation (IMERG-Late), and Sentinel-2 imagery. The main research question addressed consistency ground...
Precipitation science is a growing research field. It concerned with the study of water cycle from broad perspective, tropical to polar and solid precipitation humidity microphysics. includes both modeling observations. Drawing on results several meetings within International Collaborative Experiments for PyeongChang 2018 Olympics Paralympic Winter Games (ICE-POP 2018), two Special Issues hosted by Remote Sensing starting “Winter weather in complex terrain during ICE-POP 2018”, this paper...
Urban environments not only affect the warming rate over cities but also induce changes in other relevant meteorological variables. One of main goals FPS URB-RCC Project and Horizont research project Impetus4Change (I4C) is to improve our understanding impact urban areas on regional climate vice versa, as well identify how parameterizations regional-to-local scale processes, and, general quality, accessibility usability near-term information. To evaluate these impacts long term,...
While the impacts of CO2 and other well mixed greenhouse gases on continental to global scales are understood, there still gaps uncertainties connected non-CO2 forcers. One main goals FOCI project is improve our understanding forcers climate, weather, air quality health, such as short-lived aerosols. To assess long-term impact these gases, we need first find understand in simulations given by different emission sources. In this study, performed a set 27 km domain over Europe with RegCM-Chem...
The FOCI project (“Non-CO2 Forcers and their Climate, Weather, Air Quality Health Impacts”, https://www.project-foci.eu/wp/) aims to better understand the impacts of key non-CO2 radiative forcers, assess where how they arise, impact on climate system, with a final goal providing tools investigate mitigation adaptation policies incorporated in selected scenarios future development, targeted at Europe other regions world. As part Work Package 4 from...
The main goal of the OP JAK Geohazards project is to study in detail threats Earth's upper spheres, understand causes their occurrence and quantify possible impacts on human society. Climate models will be used evaluate impact climate change risk phenomena, such as heatwaves, with analysis assessment consequences selected areas activity. In that sense, urban environments are hotspots anthropogenic emissions, affect warming rate over cities induce changes several relevant meteorological...
Urban environments not only affect the warming rate over cities through so-called urban heat island (UHI) but also induce changes in other relevant meteorological variables. This study aims to evaluate impact that different combinations of urban, microphysics and convective parameterizations have on a number variables, including temperature, wind, those related cloud/rain microphysics. Simulations were performed using WRF model with domain at 9km horizontal resolution centered Prague...
Abstract. The rural-to-urban transformation (RUT) is the process of turning rural or natural land-surface into urban one which brings important modifications in surface causing well know effects like heat island (UHI), reduced wind-speeds, increased boundary layer heights and so on. Moreover, with concentrated human activities RUT introduces new emission source greatly perturbs local regional air-pollution.
