Climate controls on coral growth in the Caribbean
… Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) we compared the wind field anomalies during periods of positive coral growth in both regions with wind field anomalies during phases of these climatic modes that are conductive to coral growth. We find that both the AMO and the PDO play a significant role in …

Investigating the Impacts of Meteorology and Long-Range Transport on near Surface and Free Tropospheric Ozone over Texas
… likely due in part to changes in meteorological patterns. This dissertation will study the impact of meteorological patterns and sources of ozone precursors on ozone variability at the surface and in the upper levels of the atmosphere. Through the use of multiple ozonesonde and model-simulated …

Relationship between the land/sea breeze circulations and the air pollution dispersion over the coastal area of Kuwait.
… of this study is to examine the variability of winds during the summertime over the coastal area of Kuwait, to identify the effect the sea-land breeze circulations have on the winds, and determine the effects of the wind patterns of pollution concentration in the region. Nearly all of the severe …

Sensitivity of Precipitation to Land-use Changes in a Regional Climate Model of West Africa
… Condensation Level (LCL), or how background wind patterns are affected under certain land-use changes have not been thoroughly explored. This thesis analyzes the atmospheric changes due to land-use and land-cover changes (LULCC) by analyzing the PBL, the LCL, surface wind, surface pressure …

Seasonal rainfall regime modulates genetic variation in the moss Pseudocrossidium crinitum
Patterns of genetic variation, resulting from Pliocene-Pleistocene climate shifts have been largely documented for species from Europe. However, little is known from Africa and especially South Africa, where climate shifts have often been invoked to explain the amazingly high diversity of the Cape …

The influence of urban morphology on sensible heat flux and convective rainfall distributions over Greater Manchester
… documented tochange temperature distributions, wind patterns and air quality. They can also impactthe development of clouds and precipitation in and around cities.Among the causes ascribed to the modification of convective precipitationinduced by urbanisation, most studies suggest that the …

Future climate evolution in the canary current upwelling system from a regional coupled model
… in summer (winter), the upwelling favourable winds increase (decrease) along the Iberian coast and decrease (increase) for the African region. The model simulations suggest that the Azores high is the main driver of these variations in winter, while in summer, the changes are attributed to the …

Wintering Reddish Egret (Egretta Rufescens) Foraging Response To Environmental Variability On The Southern Texas Gulf Coast
… environmental variables, I found increasing wind speed and an easterly wind direction had negative effect on the presence of foraging Reddish Egrets in the study area, while a westerly wind direction had a positive effect, suggesting that wind patterns influence the distribution of foraging …

The role of weather and topography in the airborne dispersal of particulate matter in Kent
Local weather data (wind direction, wind speed and temperature) from meteorological stations and daily synoptic data have been examined in relation to airborne particulate material (PM10) concentrations recorded at 17 pollution monitoring sites throughout Kent for the period 2000 to 2008, as an aid …

Natural ventilation : design for suburban houses in Thailand
… site planning has a significant impact on the wind pattern and velocity. The simulation results indicate that the wind has better characteristics in the houses with square shapes than those with rectangular shapes. The vegetation around the houses also has some effect on the wind by slightly …
