Tropical SST Preconditioning of the SH Polar Vortex during Winter 2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response of the Southern Hemisphere (SH) polar atmosphere to the tropical sea surface temperature (SST) during the 2002 winter?spring season is investigated by using a general circulation model (GCM). The SH stratospheric ...
Arctic Sea Ice Reduction and Extreme Climate Events over the Mediterranean Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uring the last decade, Arctic sea ice cover has experienced an accelerated decline that has been suggested to drive the increased occurrence of extremely cold winter events over continental Europe. Observations and modeling ...
Prioritizing Data for Improving the Multidecadal Predictive Capability of Atmospheric Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he prioritization accorded to observation types currently being considered for a space-based climate observing system is extended from a previous study. Hindcast averages and trends from 1970 through 2005 of longitude?latitude ...
Effects of the PDO Phase on the Tropical Belt Width
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent studies have shown that the tropical belt (TB) has progressively expanded since at least the late 1970s. This trend has been largely attributed to the radiative forcing due to greenhouse gas (GHG) increase and ...
