Research paper thumbnail of An assessment of the Jenkinson and Collison synoptic classification to a continental mid-latitude location

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, Jan 28, 2016

Gridded sea level pressure data was obtained from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis. The resulting catalogue was analysed for frequency of individual types and groups of weather types to characterise long-term atmospheric circulation in this region. Overall, the most frequent type is anticyclonic (A) (23.3 %) followed by cyclonic (C) (11.9 %); however, there are some key seasonal patterns with westerly circulation being significantly more common in winter than summer. The utility of this synoptic classification is evaluated by modelling daily rainfall amounts. A low level of error is found using a simple model based on the prevailing weather type. Finally, characteristics of the circulation classification are compared to those for the original JC British Isles catalogue and a much more equal distribution of flow types is seen in the former classification.

The objective circulation classification method of Jenkinson and Collison is applied to the central Mediterranean for the period 1948–2021. In order to capture more synoptic information a modified version of the method is used to also develop a series using the 500 hPa surface. Results capture key modes of variability of the Mediterranean atmosphere. The technique is used to examine variability in daily nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration in Rome. Analysis shows an evident surface synoptic control in the winter months and consideration of upper patterns renders this approach more effective.
