Abstract: The sensitivity of tropical temperature to glacial forcing is examined by using an atmosphere?mixed layer ocean (A?MLO) model to simulate the climate of the last glacial maximum (LGM) following specifications established ...

Abstract: The equilibrium response to various forcing agents, including CO2, solar irradiance, tropospheric ozone, black carbon, organic carbon, sulfate, and volcanic aerosols, is investigated using an atmospheric general circulation ...

Abstract: Spectral climate models are distinguished by their representation of variables as finite sums of spherical harmonics, with coefficients computed by an orthogonal projection of the variables onto the spherical harmonics. ...

Abstract: he influence of the Pacific?North American (PNA) pattern, the northern annular mode (NAM), and the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on extreme temperature days and months over North America is examined. Associations ...

Abstract: Statistical models were developed to specify and predict the mean monthly sea level pressure (SLP) distribution over the central and eastern North Pacific Ocean from the mean monthly sea surface temperature (SST) distribution ...

Abstract: otivated by a desire to understand the physical mechanisms involved in future anthropogenic changes in extreme temperature events, the key atmospheric circulation patterns associated with extreme daily temperatures over ...

Abstract: An attempt was made to verify and further investigate a proposed relationship between the location of the maximum east-west sea surface temperature anomaly gradient (?SSTA) and the location of the maximum meridional component ...

Abstract: irculation patterns associated with extreme temperature days over North America, as simulated by a suite of climate models, are compared with those obtained from observations. The authors analyze 17 coupled atmosphere?ocean ...

Abstract: AbstractExtratropical cyclones (ETCs) are responsible for most of the large storm-surge events in the northeastern United States. This study uses the ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis of the twentieth century (ERA-20C) and NOAA ...
