Document Title :
HEAT WAVE OVER EGYPT DURING THE SUMMER OF 1998
موجة حرارية على مصر أثناء صيف 1998
 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : During the summer of 1998, the Mediterranean area is subject to episodes of air temperature increase, which are usually referred to as “heat waves”. These waves are characterised by a long lasting duration and pronounced intensity of the temperature anomaly. A diagnostic study is carried out to analyse and investigate the causes of this summer heat wave, NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data are used in this study. The increase of temperature during the summer of 1998 is shown to be due to the increase of the subsidence of: 1) the branch of the local tropical Northern Hemisphere Hadley cell; 2) the branch of the Walker type over the Mediterranean sea and North Africa; 3) the steady northerly winds between the Asiatic monsoon low and the Azores high pressure.
