ENSO Influence on Intraseasonal Extreme Rainfall and Temperature Frequencies in the Contiguous United States: Implications for Long-Range Predictability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Potential ENSO-related predictability of wintertime daily extreme precipitation and temperature frequencies is investigated. This is done empirically using six decades of daily data at 168 stations distributed over the ...
Heavy Daily Precipitation Frequency over the Contiguous United States: Sources of Climatic Variability and Seasonal Predictability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By matching large-scale patterns in climate fields with patterns in observed station precipitation, this work explores seasonal predictability of precipitation in the contiguous United States for all seasons. Although it ...
Interdecadal Modulation of ENSO Teleconnections
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seasonal climate anomalies over North America exhibit rather large variability between years characterized by the same ENSO phase. This lack of consistency reduces potential statistically based ENSO-related climate ...
ENSO Influence on Intraseasonal Extreme Rainfall and Temperature Frequencies in the Contiguous United States: Observations and Model Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The signature of ENSO in the wintertime frequencies of heavy precipitation and temperature extremes is derived from both observations and atmospheric general circulation model output for the contiguous United States. ENSO ...
Climatic Influences on Midwest Drought during the Twentieth Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Dustbowl Era drought in the 1930s was the principal Midwest drought of the twentieth century, occurring primarily in late spring?summer [April?August (AMJJA)] when >70% of annual rainfall normally occurred. Another ...
Low-Frequency Modulation of the ENSO–Indian Monsoon Rainfall Relationship: Signal or Noise?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Running correlations between pairs of stochastic time series are typically characterized by low-frequency evolution. This simple result of sampling variability holds for climate time series but is not often recognized for ...
Prediction of Summer Maximum and Minimum Temperature over the Central and Western United States: The Roles of Soil Moisture and Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical model based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) was used to explore climatic associations and predictability of June?August (JJA) maximum and minimum surface air temperatures (Tmax and Tmin) as well as ...
North Pacific Decadal Climate Variability since 1661
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Climate in the North Pacific and North American sectors has experienced interdecadal shifts during the twentieth century. A network of recently developed tree-ring chronologies for Southern and Baja California extends the ...
The Great 2006 Heat Wave over California and Nevada: Signal of an Increasing Trend
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Most of the great California?Nevada heat waves can be classified into primarily daytime or nighttime events depending on whether atmospheric conditions are dry or humid. A rash of nighttime-accentuated events in the last ...
The Impact of Recent Heat Waves on Human Health in California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the health impacts of recent heat waves statewide and for six subregions of California: the north and south coasts, the Central Valley, the Mojave Desert, southern deserts, and northern forests. By using ...
