ABSTRACT A high-resolution (40km horizontal) global model is used to examine controls on the South Asian summer monsoon by orography and surface heat fluxes. In a series of integrations with altered ...

The impact of large-scale orography on wintertime near-surface (850 hPa) temperature variability on daily and synoptic time scales (from days to weeks) in the Northern Hemisphere is investigated.

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Spain-based Sener has launched the Oruga software, a new tool for solar power plant design on terrains with complex orography. “Oruga is the most advanced tool on the market for designing the most ...

The breaking of orographic gravity waves induces a zonal wave drag in the middle troposphere, which destroys the geostrophic balance of the large-scale westerly flow and thus drives an ageostrophic ...

Computer simulations show that both ocean dynamics, such as the Gulf Stream, and mountain ranges influence the pattern of storm tracks on Earth. This also explains why Earth's storm tracks are so ...

The extension of the Asian subtropical continent into the tropics, including the Indochina Peninsula (ICP), is generally considered an important agent for inducing and maintaining the Asian summer ...
