Abstract: The objective of this study is to examine the broad aspects of large-scale interannual and long-term variability in the monthly mean outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) data over the global tropics. These data, derived from ...

Abstract: A 32-km high-resolution modified Palmer drought severity index (MPDSI) based on the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) North American Regional Reanalysis (RR) from 1979 to 2004 is presented. The assumptions ...

Abstract: The leading tropical multidecadal mode (TMM) and tropical interannual (ENSO) mode in the 52-yr (1949? 2000) NCEP?NCAR reanalysis are examined for the December?February (DJF) and June?August (JJA) seasons based on seasonal ...

Abstract: Interannual and multidecadal extremes in Atlantic hurricane activity are shown to result from a coherent and interrelated set of atmospheric and oceanic conditions associated with three leading modes of climate variability ...

Abstract: The Climate Prediction Center has used atmospheric temperatures for data analysis from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) model since 1979. Unfortunately, model changes have adversely affected the ...

Abstract: Uncertainties in estimates of tropospheric mean temperature were investigated in the context of climate change detection through comparisons of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?National Center for Atmospheric ...

Abstract: An analysis of the tropical Pacific Ocean from January 1983 to December 1992 is used to describe the annual cycle, with the main focus on subsurface temperature variations. Some analysis of ocean-current variations are ...
