Abstract: The Asian summer monsoon heating anomalies are parameterized in terms of the concurrent ENSO SST anomalies and used as additional forcing in the Cane?Zebiak (CZ) Pacific ocean?atmosphere anomaly model. The Asian heating ...

Abstract: The structure of surface-wind anomalies associated with ENSO variability is extracted from ComprehensiveOcean?Atmosphere Dataset observations and European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts (ECMWF) and National Centers for ...

Abstract: Extraction of the accurate annual cycle in the tropical Pacific sea surface temperature field is addressed as a demonstration of the utility of a new technique called the cyclostationary empirical orthogonal function (CSEOF) ...

Abstract: Aerosols are regionally concentrated and are subject to large temporal variations, even on interannual timescales. In this study, the focus is on the observed large interannual variability of the South Asian (SA) haze, ...

Abstract: Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the equatorial Indian Ocean have warmed by about 0.6?0.8 K since the 1950s, accompanied by very little warming or even a slight cooling trend over the northern Indian Ocean (NIO). It is ...

Abstract: Diabatic heating associated with El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability is residually diagnosed from the European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts (ECMWF) and National Centers for Environmental Prediction ...

Abstract: The effects of the south Asian haze on the regional climate are assessed using the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate Model version 3 (CCM3) at the T42/L18 resolution. This haze, as documented during ...
