DOI: 10.1002/qj.4465
Abstract: The structure and evolution of a cold front that produced a tornadic narrow cold‐frontal rainband (NCFR) over the UK on 20 November 2013 is explored using reanalysis data, high‐resolution model simulations and observations. Physical links… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-018-4357-2
Abstract: Winter-to-early spring non-monsoonal precipitation over the Western Himalayas (WH) primarily comes from eastward propagating synoptic-scale weather systems known as western disturbances (WDs). Earlier studies have noted that an increasing trend of synoptic-scale WD activity in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00704-018-2414-8
Abstract: Synoptic-scale atmospheric conditions play a critical role in determining the frequency and intensity of snow cover ablation in the mid-latitudes. Using a synoptic classification technique, distinct regional circulation patterns influencing the Great Lakes basin of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/aog.2020.23
Abstract: Abstract The role of synoptic-scale cyclones in the trends and variability of Arctic sea ice conditions has remained uncertain. In recognition, we conduct a systematic investigation of how sea-ice concentration (SIC) changes with cyclone passage,… read more here.
