Atmospheric blocking and weather extremes over the Euro-Atlantic sector – a review

Lisa‐Ann Kautz, Olivia Martius, Stephan Pfahl et al. · 29 Mar 2022

Abstract. The physical understanding and timely prediction of extreme weather events are of enormous importance to society due to their associated impacts. In this article, we highlight several types of weather extremes occurring in Europe in connection with a particular atmospheric flow pattern, known as atmospheric blocking. This flow pattern effectively blocks the prevailing westerly…

Mediterranean cyclones: current knowledge and open questions on dynamics, prediction, climatology and impacts

Emmanouil Flaounas, Silvio Davolio, Shira Raveh‐Rubin et al. · 14 Feb 2022

Abstract. A large number of intense cyclones occur every year in the Mediterranean basin, one of the climate change hotspots. Producing a broad range of severe socio-economic and environmental impacts in such a densely populated region, Mediterranean cyclones call for coordinated and interdisciplinary research efforts. This article aims at supporting these efforts by reviewing the…

Future changes in the extratropical storm tracks and cyclone intensity, wind speed, and structure

Matthew D. K. Priestley, Jennifer L. Catto · 31 Mar 2022

Abstract. Future changes in extratropical cyclones and the associated storm tracks are uncertain. Using the new CMIP6 models, we investigate changes to seasonal mean storm tracks and composite wind speeds at different levels of the troposphere for the winter and summer seasons in both the Northern Hemisphere (NH) and Southern Hemisphere (SH). Changes are assessed…

Northern Hemisphere blocking simulation in current climate models: evaluating progress from the Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 to 6 and sensitivity to resolution

R. Schiemann, Panos Athanasiadis, David Barriopedro et al. · 15 Jun 2020

Abstract. Global climate models (GCMs) are known to suffer from biases in the simulation of atmospheric blocking, and this study provides an assessment of how blocking is represented by the latest generation of GCMs. It is evaluated (i) how historical CMIP6 (Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6) simulations perform compared to CMIP5 simulations and (ii)…

The characteristics and structure of extra-tropical cyclones in a warmer climate

Victoria A. Sinclair, Mika Rantanen, Päivi Haapanala et al. · 3 Jan 2020

Abstract. Little is known about how the structure of extra-tropical cyclones will change in the future. In this study aqua-planet simulations are performed with a full-complexity atmospheric model. These experiments can be considered an intermediate step towards increasing knowledge of how, and why, extra-tropical cyclones respond to warming. A control simulation and a warm simulation…

Weather and Climate Dynamics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Weather and Climate Dynamics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Weather and Climate Dynamics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Copernicus Publications format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Weather and Climate Dynamics use?
Weather and Climate Dynamics uses Author–year (Copernicus) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B., and Lee, C.: A representative article title, Weather and Climate Dynamics, 12, 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Weather and Climate Dynamics?
No. DocuGuru generates the copernicus LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Copernicus Publications-ready Weather and Climate Dynamics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Weather and Climate Dynamics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Weather and Climate Dynamics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Weather and Climate Dynamics?
Copernicus Publications journal. It is a earth and environmental sciences journal, published by Copernicus Publications.
Can I export a submission-ready Weather and Climate Dynamics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Weather and Climate Dynamics template (the copernicus class) that is ready to submit to Copernicus Publications, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Weather and Climate Dynamics template cost?
You can start writing in the Weather and Climate Dynamics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Weather and Climate Dynamics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
