Abstract: This paper is concerned with the expected configuration in space and time surrounding extremely high crests in a random wave field, or, equivalently, the mean configuration averaged over realizations of extreme events. A ...

Abstract: Wavelet transforms, which can unfold signals in both time and frequency domains, are used to analyze the Comprehensive Ocean and Atmospheric Data Sets for the period 1870?1988. The focus is on secular changes in the ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented of simulated ENSO phenomena occurring in three 1000-yr experiments with a low-resolution (R15) global coupled ocean?atmosphere GCM. Although the model ENSO is much weaker than the observed one, the ...

Abstract: In a previous paper (Phillips et al.) an approximate theory was developed that predicted that the expected configuration of extreme waves in a random sea (or the average configuration of an ensemble of extreme waves) is ...

Abstract: Data for the period from 1985 to 1993 from TAO moorings along 110°W (5°S?5°N) and 140°W (2°S?9°N) describe the vertical, meridional, and temporal structure of the seasonal cycle of several variables. The results have a ...
