Zusammenfassung |
The atmospheric circulation clearly has an important influence on variations
in surface temperature and precipitation. In this study we illustrate the
spatial patterns of variation that occur for the principal circulation
patterns across Europe in the standard four seasons. We use an existing
classification scheme of surface pressure patterns, with the aim of
considering whether the patterns of influence of specific weather types have
changed over the course of the 20th century. We consider whether the
long-term warming across Europe is associated with more favourable weather
types or related to warming within some of the weather types. The results
indicate that the latter is occurring, but not all circulation types show
warming. The study also illustrates that certain circulation types can lead
to marked differences in temperature and/or precipitation for relatively
closely positioned sites when the sites are located in areas of high relief
or near coasts. |
