Circulation weather types as a tool in atmospheric, climate and environmental research / / edited by : Alexandre M. Ramos, David Barriopedro and Emanuel Dutra.

Classifications of circulation weather systems have a long history in meteorology and climatology. Starting with manual classifications over specific regions of the globe, these tools (generally called “catalogs of synoptic types”) were restricted mainly to weather forecasting and historical climate...
