Klimatologie der atmosphärischen Störungen über Europa

Abstract: This investigation using early as well as recent papers and publications as a starting point is based on the distribution of low pressure areas during the decade 1948?1959. Their distribution pattern was derived by counting them in 5° graticule fields as well as in relation to land and water surfaces and mountains. The pattern shows a surprisingly close connexion with the outlines of the European continent since, on the whole, the sea areas have larger and the land areas smaller frequency values. This result can be readily understood in terms of physical causation, viz differences in surface friction and temperature regime of land and water surfaces. The smaller surface friction over the sea compared with the land is relatively cyclogenic; this tendency is reinforced especially in winter by the thermal contrast between the air bodies on either side of the coastline. The reason why their effect comes out so clearly in the distribution pattern of the low pressure areas seems to be th.... https://www.erdkunde.uni-bonn.de/article/view/1319
