Abstract: ong time-scale teleconnection patterns, with common features in both the northern Atlantic and Pacific regions, are identified. The teleconnection patterns arise in an investigation of the internally generated variability ...

Abstract: Atmospheric ?transport climate? characterizes how trace gases are distributed by and within the atmosphere, on average, as a consequence of the interaction of atmospheric flow with tracer sources and sinks. The change in ...

Abstract: The global distribution of vegetation is broadly determined by climate, and where bioclimatic parameters are favorable for several plant functional types (PFTs), by the competition between them. Most current dynamic global ...

Abstract: Variability of subtropical cell (STC) overturning in the upper Pacific Ocean is examined in a coupled climate model in light of large observed changes in STC transport. In a 1000-yr control run, modeled STC variations are ...

Abstract: The climatic response to a 5% increase in solar constant is analyzed in three coupled global ocean?atmosphere general circulation models, the NCAR Climate System Model version 1 (CSM1), the Community Climate System Model ...

Abstract: The variance budget of land surface hydrological quantities is analyzed in the second Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP2) simulation made with the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma) ...

Abstract: Root distribution is treated as a static component in most current dynamic vegetation models (DVMs). While changes in leaf and stem biomass are reflected in leaf area index (LAI) and vegetation height via specific leaf ...

Abstract: Anomalies in the angular momentum of the atmosphere (M) during the 1982-83 El Niño event and the torques responsible for these anomalies are investigated using output from the Canadian Climate Centre general circulation ...

Abstract: The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) was established to study and intercompare climate simulations made with coupled ocean?atmosphere?cryosphere?land GCMs. There are two main phases (CMIP1 and CMIP2), which ...

Abstract: he Canadian Seasonal to Interannual Prediction System (CanSIPS) became operational at Environment Canada's Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC) in December 2011, replacing CMC's previous two-tier system. CanSIPS is a ...
