the third to experience below-average numbers of hurricanes since 1995, the start of the current era of high-activity in the Atlantic (NOAA 2013). The low numbers are likely a result of exceptionally dry, sinking air and strong vertical wind shear across much of the hurricane Main Development Region (MDR

more than the average July rainfall by midmonth. Temperatures increased in the third week of July, with temperatures in the upper 20s across southeast England, reaching the 30s in some areas. Heathrow and Kew Gardens (Greater London) both saw 32.0°C on the 30th, the highest temperature of the year so

the persistent rain throughout December, the extra rainfall from Henk resulted in significant flooding problems, particularly from the River Trent. By the 5th, most of central and south-east England had already received two-thirds or more of the whole-month average rainfall. However, fortunately after

, with much of this concentrated in the south. England and Wales both recorded more than 150% of their long term average monthly rainfall, while Scotland recorded just 90% of the average March rainfall. County Down in Northern Ireland provisionally experienced its third wettest March on record

remaining regions was about 5-7°C, which was noticeably decreased by one-third in B2 scenario compared to A2 scenario, especially over south-east of Iran. B2 simulation showed cold biased of more than 2°C compared to the A2 scenario. Mean annual temperature change pattern in B2 scenario was almost

in regional climate change simulations that result from the use of different atmosphere–ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs) to provide boundary conditions for different RCMs. A third challenge to modeling regional climate concerns is the dependence of the model simulation on physical

emission recorded by polar satellites (e.g. SSMI) with infrared emissions measured by geostationary satellites and gauge station observations (Adler et al. 2003). The dataset has 2.5° resolution. 3. The Climate Prediction Center Merged Analysis of Precipitation (CMAP) dataset (Fig. 2, third row) uses

the Met Office topdown estimates and the dotted line (left) indicates a 50% refill rate As seen in Figure 23, changing the default refill setting from 100% to 0% results in a theoretical emissions reduction of approximately 2 Gg (1Gg = 1000 tonnes) in 2010, equivalent to a third of the total

The rolling agreement ensures that the PWS has the ability to plan for upcoming developments, future capabilities and provide innovation to the market. This flexibility is especially
