    Notes: Abstract Seven winters of analyses and forecasts from the operational archives of the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast had been previously analyzed to assess the performance of the model in forecasting blocking events. This work updates some of this previous diagnostic work to the last five winters, from 1987/88 to 1991/92. The data set therefore covers all winter seasons (DJF) from 1980/81 to 1991/92, and consists of daily northern hemisphere 500 hPa geopotential height analyses and of the ten corresponding forecasts verifying on the same day (“Lorenz data”). Local blocking and sector blocking have been defined, using different modifications of the original Lejenas and Økland index. The comparison between the first seven and the last five winters, within the restrictions imposed by limited length of the data set, suggests a much improved situation as far as model climatology of blocking is concerned, especially over the Euro-Atlantic region. Operational predictability of blocking as an initial value problem is also shown to be measurably improved, in both Atlantic and Pacific sectors. All such improvements are shown to have taken place together with a considerable reduction of the model systematic error. Nevertheless, forecasting blocking in the medium range remains a difficult task for the model. More work is needed to understand whether the improvements are to be ascribed to the increased model resolution or to better physical parametrisations.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Zyklogenese findet bekanntlich häufig in der Nähe der Hauptgebirgskomplexe der Erde statt. Dennoch wurde bis jetzt in der Literatur noch keine einheitliche und umfassende. Theorie orographischer Zyklogenese angeboten. Wir schlagen hier eine vereinheitlichte Theorie der Zyklogenese bei Vorhandensein einer Orographie mit unterschiedlichen Konfigurationen vor. Die Theorie basiert auf der Verallgemeinerung eines theoretischen Models über die Wechselwirkung von baroklinen Wellen mit der lokalen Orographie. Dieses Modell hat sich kürzlich bei der Erklärung einiger grundlegender Eigenschaften alpiner Zyklogenese als erfolgreich erwiesen (Speranza et al. 1985). Wir betrachten im besonderen die Zyklogenese in der Nähe der Rocky Mountains (sowohl westlich der Kette im Golf von Alaska als auch östlich davon über Nordamerika) und in der Nähe des Himalaya-Tibet-Plateaus. Hinsichtlich der Zyklogenese über dem Golf von Alaska werden auch Ergebnisse von numerischen Experimenten, die mit dem ECMWF-Modell durchgeführt wurden, um die orographischen Effekte unter realistischen Bedingungen zu isolieren, präsentiert und mit den theoretischen Ergebnissen verglichen.
    Notes: Summary Cyclogenesis is known to take place frequently near the principal mountain complexes of the earth. However, a coherent and comprehensive theory of orographic cyclogenesis has never been offered in the literature. We propose here a unified theory of cyclogenesis in the presence of orography of various configurations, based on the generalization of a theoretical model concerning the interaction of baroclinic waves with local orography. This model has recently proved to be successful in accounting for some basic properties of Alpinecyclogenesis (Speranza et al. 1985). We consider, in particular, cyclogenesis in proximity of the Rocky Mountains (both to the west of the ridge, in the Gulf of Alaska, and to the east of it, over North America) and in proximity of the Himalaya-Tibetan Plateau. With regard to cyclogenesis over the Gulf of Alaska, results of numerical experiments, performed with the ECMWF model in order to isolate the orographic effects in realistic conditions, are also presented and compared with the theoretical results.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird die Struktur einer Zyklone im Golf von Genua vom 24. und 25. April 1982, unter Verwendung eines verdichteten Radiosondennetzes, Daten von vier ALPEX-Forschungsflügen und Satellitenbeobachtungen von Ozon und Wasserdampf untersucht. Diese spezielle Zyklone hatte als Vorboten einen mesoskaligen Wirbel in der Höhe, der die Alpen vom Norden mit einer Geschwindigkeit von ca. 400 km/6 Std. erreichte. Diese kleine Zyklone wies eine ungefähr achsensymmetrische Senkung der Tropopause auf. Kalte Luft unterhalb der Zyklone verhinderte Anzeichen im Bodendruck. Beim Auftreffen auf die Alpen wurde die kalte Luft anscheinend abgelenkt, so daß sich die Zyklone beim Erreichen des Golfs von Genua bis zum Boden ausdehnen konnte. Flugzeugdaten aus dem Niveau mitp≈447 mb lassen eine kleine Menge stratosphärischer Luft etwas oberhalb des Wirbelzentrums erkennen. Diese Luft ist gekennzeichnet durch hohe Ozonkonzentration, niedriges Mischungsverhältnis und hoher relativer Vorticity. Die Grenzen dieser Region sind mit einem horizontalen Umfang von etwa 20 km sehr gut definiert, aber es gibt einige Anzeichen von Advektion und Mischungsprozessen. Mit Hilfe des Satelliten konstruierte Karten von vertikal integriertem Ozon (TOMS) stimmen mit den Flugzeugdaten über die Position des Ozonmaximums überein. Ebenso stimmen Satellitenbilder im Wasserdampfband (6.7 μm) mit den Flugzeugdaten überein und liefern Informationen über den zeitlichen Ablauf der stratosphärischen Eindringung.
    Notes: Summary The structure of a cyclone in the Gulf of Genoa on April 24, 25, 1982 is examined using an enhanced rawinsonde network, data from four ALPEX research flights, and satellite ozone and water vapor observations. This particular cyclone had, as a precursor, a mesoscale upper level vortex which approached the Alps from the north at a rate of about 400 km/6 hours. This small cyclone had a roughly axisymmetric tropopause fold. Cold air below the cyclone prevented it from having a surface pressure signature. Upon encountering the Alps, the cold air appeared to be deflected, allowing the cyclone reaching the Gulf of Genoa to extend to the surface. Aircraft data at thep≈447 mb level reveal a small volume of stratospheric air slightly ahead of the vortex center. This air is marked by high ozone concentration, low water vapor mixing ratio, and high relative vorticity. The boundaries of this region are very well defined with a horizontal scale of about 20 km, but with some evidence of advection and mixing processes. Satellite derived maps of vertically integrated ozone (TOMS) agree with the aircraft data regarding the position of the ozone maximum. Satellite images in the water vapor band /6.7 μm) also agree with the aircraft data, and provide some information on the time evolution of the stratospheric intrusion.

    Notes: Abstract.  An analysis of blocking events is conducted on the output of four integrations of the ECHAM3 atmospheric general circulation model with different configurations of horizontal spectral truncation and oceanic surface temperatures. The definition of local blocking and sector blocking is obtained by using an objective index based on a measure of the local zonality of the flow. Model variability and systematic errors are assessed and frequency diagrams of different quantities relative to blocking statistical and synoptic properties are produced. Effects of resolution and of physical parametrizations on model performance are considered. All versions of the model show a tendency to underestimate blocking occurrence. Evidence of a different nature of the blocking phenomenon in the Euro-Atlantic and in the Pacific sectors is found. The two sectors are characterized by a different sensitivity of blocking frequency to SST prescription, by a different annual cycle and by a different sensitivity of the distribution of blocking lifetime to model resolution. Euro-Atlantic blocking is found to be more the result of internal dynamics of the flow, while Pacific blocking appears more dependent on the oceanic boundary conditions.

    Notes: Abstract Pollutant concentrations relative to the years 1993-1995 measured in the Bologna urban area by a network of automatic stations (S.A.R.A. Sistema Automatico di Rilevamento Ambientale) are analysed to estimate the typical behaviour of the pollutants, especially with regard to periodicities and meteorological dependencies and to attempt prediction for the pollutant daily concentration up to a few days using a statistically based model. The results obtained show the presence of a very significant weekly periodicity for all the analysed pollutants. A yearly periodicity has been found only for the primary pollutants analysed. The statistical prediction, using an ARMA model with meteorological variables as transfer functions, shows good predicting capabilities up to one day for carbon monoxide (CO) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) and up to two days for nitrogen dioxide (NO2).

    Description: Small morphologically fresh impact craters (〈10 km in diameter) on Vesta's surface with a photometrically distinct ejecta blanket are expected to represent fresh surface material, and thus provide the opportunity to study the composition of the unweathered surface. Dawn-FC and VIR data reveal impact craters with bright, dark, as well as mixed, i.e. partly bright and dark, ejecta existing on Vesta's surface, which not only differ in the visible albedo from their surroundings but also in their composition. Differences in the composition are related to the visible albedo and/or the geographic location of the impact craters. Bright ejecta, only seen in the southern Vestan hemisphere, are dominated by howardite/eucrite-like material as expected for Vesta's upper crust. Dark ejecta associated with dark impact craters are dominated by a strongly absorbing, spectrally neutral compound, supporting an origin from carbon-rich impactors. Few impact craters of intermediate albedo in Vesta's southern hemisphere contain material resembling diogenites, which are expected to exist in the deeper parts of Vesta's interior. The geological settings suggest that the diogenite-like material represents a part of a layer of diogenitic material surrounding the Rheasilvia basin or local concentrations of diogenitic material as part of the ejecta excavated during the latter stage of the Rheasilvia impact event. The spectral differences between eucrite- and diogenite-dominated materials also could be verified due to spin-forbidden absorptions in the visible spectral range, which are known from laboratory spectra of pyroxenes, but, which have been identified in the VIR spectra of Vesta for the first time.
