Regional weather and climates of the British Isles - Part 4: North East England and Yorkshire

Regional weather and climates of the British Isles – Part 9: Scotland

“…The highest mean monthly maxima are mainly in July (August or both July and August in the maritime WINI region). The summer maxima in CSS are just a little lower than those in northeast England (Wheeler, ), and are about 3.5 degC lower than those observed in the southeast of England (Mayes, ), whereas those in the far northeast of the EH (Caithness) are about 2–3 degC lower than those in Southern Scotland: there is less difference in maxima in winter. The lowest average annual maxima are found at high levels in the Highlands (as a result of the fall of temperature with height).…”

Detection of the Yorkshire power stations from space: an air quality perspective

“…The concentrations over the power stations are in the range of approximately 6–9 × 10 15 molecules/cm 2 , and there appears to be a leeward transport of tropospheric column NO 2 away from the power stations and Hull out into the North Sea and over Lincolnshire. Though this study focuses on wind speed, not direction, climatologically speaking, the UK experiences westerly winds on average (Wheeler, ). The elevated NO 2 concentrations downwind of the power stations can also be caused by the reaction of NO with O 3 to produce more NO 2 .…”

An investigation of the regional correlation gradients between Euro‐Atlantic atmospheric teleconnections and winter solar short wave radiation in northwest Europe

“…Rain‐shadow effects occur worldwide, including across relatively low elevation mountains (Bonacina, ; Roe, ; Houze, ). Orography is known to play a key role in establishing precipitation rain‐shadows over the United Kingdom, specifically over parts of the northeast UK mainland (Wheeler, ). This effect occurs in both high (e.g.…”
