Comments on ‘Influences of the Bermuda High and atmospheric moistening on changes in summer rainfall in the Atlanta, Georgia region, USA’
ABSTRACT In a recent article, Diem (2012) examined the impact of the North Atlantic Subtropical High ( NASH ) and atmospheric moistening on summer rainfall variability in the Atlanta, Georgia region. In his paper, he indicated that the results concerning the variability of the NASH western ridge dis...
