A new circulation type classification based upon Lagrangian air trajectories

A new circulation type classification based upon Lagrangian air trajectories

A new classification method of the large-scale circulation characteristic for a specific target area (NW Iberian Peninsula) is presented, based on the analysis of 90-h backward trajectories arriving in this area calculated with the 3-D Lagrangian particle dispersion model FLEXPART. A cluster analysi...
