Abstract: The variance of the rainfall during the October?November?December (OND) ?short rain? season along the coast in Kenya and Tanzania correlates strongly with sea surface temperature (SST) in the Indian Ocean between 1950 and ...

Abstract: The authors examine relationships between Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) variability and the variability of the Indian monsoon, including analysis of potential long-lead predictions of Indian rainfall by regional ...

Abstract: rojected changes in global rainfall patterns will likely alter water supplies and ecosystems in semiarid regions during the coming century. Instrumental and paleoclimate data indicate that natural hydroclimate fluctuations ...

Abstract: AbstractAccurate assessments of future climate impacts require realistic simulation of interannual?century-scale temperature and precipitation variability. Here, well-constrained paleoclimate data and the latest generation ...

Abstract: Analyses of instrumental data demonstrate robust linkages between decadal-scale North Pacific and tropical Indo-Pacific climatic variability. These linkages encompass common regime shifts, including the noteworthy 1976 ...

Abstract: AbstractMultidecadal hydroclimate variability has been expressed as ?megadroughts? (dry periods more severe and prolonged than observed over the twentieth century) and corresponding ?megapluvial? wet periods in many regions ...

Abstract: he distribution of climatic variance across the frequency spectrum has substantial importance for anticipating how climate will evolve in the future. Here power spectra and power laws (?) are estimated from instrumental, ...

Abstract: l Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a naturally occurring mode of tropical Pacific variability, with global impacts on society and natural ecosystems. While it has long been known that El Niño events display a diverse ...
