Abstract: This study explores the spatial differentiation of climate anomalies and associated circulation mechanisms across the African-South Asian monsoon belt through empirical analyses mainly for the period 1948?83. Observations ...

Abstract: An integral balance is developed for steady fluid flows relating dissipation in volumes bounded by isosurfaces of a tracer (quasi-conserved quantity) and solid boundaries to the covariance of the tracer value and surface ...

Abstract: his study diagnoses the changes in Arctic clouds simulated by the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) in a transient 2 ? CO2 simulation. Four experiments?one fully coupled and three with prescribed SSTs and/or ...

Abstract: laska is experiencing effects of global climate change that are due, in large part, to the positive feedback mechanisms associated with polar amplification. The major risk factors include loss of sea ice and glaciers, ...

Abstract: AbstractClimate change is expected to alter the frequencies and intensities of at least some types of extreme events. Although Alaska is already experiencing an amplified response to climate change, studies of extreme event ...

Abstract: y extending the record of Alaskan divisional temperature and precipitation back in time, regional variations and trends of temperature and precipitation over 1920?2012 are documented. The use of the divisional framework ...

Abstract: limate projections suggest that an ice-free summer Arctic Ocean is possible within several decades and with this comes the prospect of increased ship traffic and safety concerns. The daily sea ice concentration tendency ...

Abstract: Arctic cyclone activity is investigated in the context of climate change and variability by using a modified automated cyclone identification and tracking algorithm, which differs from previously used algorithms by single ...

Abstract: The impact of an interactive ocean on the midlatitude atmosphere is examined using a 31-yr integration of a variable depth mixed layer ocean model of the North Atlantic (between 20° and 60°N) coupled to the NCAR Community ...
