Abstract: Application of the moist static energy framework to analyses of vertical stability and net energy in the Sahel sheds light on the divergence of projections of climate change. Two distinct mechanisms are sketched. In one, ...

Abstract: An ensemble of general circulation model (GCM) integrations forced by observed sea surface temperature (SST) represents the climate response to SST forcing as well as internal variability or ?noise.? Signal-to-noise analysis ...

Abstract: The large-scale ocean?atmosphere patterns that influence the interannual variability of Caribbean?Central American rainfall are examined. The atmospheric circulation over this region is shaped by the competition between ...

Abstract: The El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon and variability in the subtropical North Atlantic high sea level pressure (SLP) are known to affect rainfall in the Caribbean region. An El Niño event is associated with ...

Abstract: he evolution of El Niño can be separated into two phases?namely, growth and mature?depending on whether the regional sea surface temperature has adjusted to the tropospheric warming in the remote tropics (tropical regions ...

Abstract: AbstractOne of the most robust remote impacts of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the teleconnection to tropical North Atlantic (TNA) sea surface temperature (SST) in boreal spring. However, important questions still ...

Abstract: nalyses of phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) experiments show that the global monsoon is expected to increase in area, precipitation, and intensity as the climate system responds to anthropogenic ...

Abstract: Recent developments in Tropical Atlantic Variability (TAV) identify the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) as one of the leading factors in the interannual climate variability of the basin. An ENSO event results in ...
