Impact Of Planetary Waves On Extreme Weather Events: A Statistical Analysis
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this paper is to review statistical researches to understand the impact of planetary waves on the occurrence of extreme weather. In this regard, planetary waves or Rossby waves are essential in explaining our atmosphere and their continuance in weather occurrence and intensity.
Methods: We explore how the extratropical planetary waves affect the frequency and intensity of the warm and cold spells, floods, and droughts based on a large amount of climate data and statistical analysis.
Results:The company’s analysis of planetary waves’ traits demonstrates significant correlations between some of the traits and extreme weather events, which is essential for understanding the nature of extreme weather events. The findings of this study are useful in describing the connections between the global large-scale and local-scale atmospheric processes and the occurrence of weather extremes in a climate science context and for forecasting the likelihood of certain conditions.
Conclusion:In general, the above-mentioned findings suggest that planetary wave dynamics should be considered when developing models for better understanding of climatic changes and when developing sustainable solutions for mitigating the impact of extreme weather events in the context of climate change.
