RISInfluence of the Icelandic Low on the Variability of Surface Air Temperature in the Gulf of Lion: Implications for Intermediate Water Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors investigate the interannual variability of surface air temperature in the Gulf of Lion (northwestern Mediterranean Sea) during the winter season, which has been proposed as the dominant factor for the Mediterranean ...
Impact of the Hawaiian High on Interannual Variations of Winter Precipitation over California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ast investigations have shown that interannual variability in winter precipitation over the western United States is related to large-scale sea level pressure fluctuations. California is adjacent to the North Pacific ...
Seasonal Variability in Precipitation in Central and Southern Chile: Modulation by the South Pacific High
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMonthly precipitation in Chile (30°?55°S) was found to vary by intensity, latitude, and longitude of the South Pacific high (SPH). In austral winter, precipitation was higher when the SPH was weaker and when it was ...
Harmonic Analysis of the Seasonal Cycle in Precipitation over the United States: A Comparison between Observations and a General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using precipitation values obtained from a version of the Oregon State University general circulation model and observational gridded data, harmonic analysis has been employed to study the seasonal variation of precipitation ...
Teleconnections of the Southern Oscillation in the Tropical Atlantic Sector in the OSU Coupled Upper Ocean–Atmosphere GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Oregon State University coupled upper ocean-atmosphere GCM has been shown to qualitatively simulate the Southern Oscillation. A composite analysis of the warm and cold events simulated in this 23-year integration has ...
The Influence of Solar Forcing on Tropical Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response of the seasonal tropical circulation to an 11-yr solar cycle forcing is studied with the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) ModelE, which includes fully interactive atmospheric chemistry. To identify ...
The Icelandic Low as a Predictor of the Gulf Stream North Wall Position
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Gulf Stream?s north wall east of Cape Hatteras marks the abrupt change in velocity and water properties between the slope sea to the north and the Gulf Stream itself. An index of the north wall position constructed by ...
Regional Cloud Cover Change Associated with Global Climate Change: Case Studies for Three Regions of the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Land-based observations of cloud cover, for the period 1900?87 and averaged over three geographical regions of the United States (coastal southwest, coastal northeast, and southern plains), show strong positive correlations ...
Impact of the Atlantic Meridional Mode on Gulf Stream North Wall Position
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe path of the Gulf Stream as it leaves the continental shelf near Cape Hatteras is marked by a sharp gradient in ocean temperature known as the North Wall. Previous work in the literature has considered processes ...
