Abstract: This study expands on previous studies (Harnack and Landsberg, 1978; Harnack, 1979) in that objective, statistical winter temperature forecast models are tested and verified for three additional winters (1979?81); models ...

Abstract: The mean Northern Hemispheric circulation and United States temperature pattern of the winter 1978?79 are discussed and compared with those of the previous two winters. It is found that, although the Arctic and North ...

Abstract: Various statistical models were tested for their reliability in predicting mean winter temperatures in the eastern and central United States. This study was designed td extend, and improve upon, a previous study, which ...

Abstract: Statistical models were developed to specify and predict the mean monthly sea level pressure (SLP) distribution over the central and eastern North Pacific Ocean from the mean monthly sea surface temperature (SST) distribution ...

Abstract: An investigation of the January thaw phenomenon, a period of unseasonable warmth, was conducted using daily maximum temperatures recorded at New Brunswick, New Jersey, from 1858?1981. Student's t-tests, comparing long-term ...

Abstract: The specification of summer season precipitation in the contiguous United States from summer season fields of 700 mb height, sea level pressure (SLP) and Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) was carried out using stepwise ...

Abstract: Seasonal precipitation is specified for the United States by matching various area-averaged precipitation statistics as predictands with three different predictors in turn: 700 mb heights, North Pacific SST and North ...

Abstract: North Pacific and North Atlantic SST (sea surface temperature) were used separately and in combination to specify seasonal-mean North American 700 mb heights. One of the goals was to quantify these relationships so that ...

Abstract: The prediction of winter in the United States from Pacific sea surface temperatures was examined using a jackknifed regression scheme and a measure of intraseasonal atmospheric circulation variability. Employing a jackknifed ...

Abstract: An attempt was made to verify and further investigate a proposed relationship between the location of the maximum east-west sea surface temperature anomaly gradient (?SSTA) and the location of the maximum meridional component ...
