Abstract: Long-range sea surface temperature forecasts from two different coupled ocean-atmosphere models of the tropical Pacific are used in conjunction with statistical models relating winter Northern Hemisphere 700-mb height and ...

Abstract: A hybrid coupled model (HCM) of the tropical ocean?atmosphere system is described. The ocean component is a fully nonlinear ocean general circulation model (OGCM). The atmospheric element is a statistical model that specifies ...

Abstract: This paper describes the comparison of wind speed and significant wave height data from several reanalyses. The data are assessed against time-averaged altimeter and buoy measurements. The comparisons between the datasets ...
