| Zusammenfassung |
| Several studies have claimed to have found significant weekly cycles of
meteorological variables appearing over large domains, which can hardly be
related to urban effects exclusively. Nevertheless, there is still an
ongoing scientific debate whether these large-scale weekly cycles exist or
not, and some other studies fail to reproduce them with statistical
significance. In addition to the lack of the positive proof for the
existence of these cycles, their possible physical explanations have been
controversially discussed during the last years. In this work we review the
main results about this topic published during the recent two decades,
including a summary of the existence or non-existence of significant weekly
weather cycles across different regions of the world, mainly over the US,
Europe and Asia. In addition, some shortcomings of common statistical
methods for analyzing weekly cycles are listed. Finally, a brief summary of
supposed causes of the weekly cycles, focusing on the
aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions and their impact on meteorological
variables as a result of the weekly cycles of anthropogenic activities, and
possible directions for future research, is presented. |
