We review recent advances in classifications of circulation patterns as a specific research
area within synoptic climatology. The review starts with a general description of goals of …

A new database of weather and circulation type catalogs is presented comprising 17
automated classification methods and five subjective classifications. It was compiled within …

In order to examine correspondence between different methods for circulation type
classification, a dataset of classification catalogs for 12 different European regions has been …

Circulation ty** using rotated T-mode decomposition (ie, variable is time series and
observation is grid points) principal component analysis (PCA) requires up to four important …

Due to its complex role within the radiation budget of the Earth, cloud cover plays an
important role in climate variability at local, regional or continental scale. Consequently …

Within the COST733 Action “Harmonisation and Applications of Weather Types
Classifications for European Regions” systematic evaluation and comparison studies of …

Heatwaves (HWs) are expected to increase both in duration and intensity in the next
decades, but little is known about their synoptic and mesoscalar behavior, which is …

The goal of this paper is to present a method to establish the typology of rural areas in
Serbia. Initially the OECD rurality criterion was applied to define the rural areas in Serbia …

Cluster analysis was applied to back trajectories reaching the Greater Athens area, Greece.
The database contains five years of four-day kinematic back trajectories arriving at three …

ABSTRACT We studied the influence of changes in the frequency of atmospheric circulation
types (CTs) on seasonal trends of daily maximum and minimum temperature and …
