Interannual Variability of Summertime Convective Cloudiness and Precipitation in the Central Andes Derived from ISCCP-B3 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interannual variability of austral summer [December?January?February?March (DJFM)] convective activity and precipitation in the central Andes (15°?30°S) is investigated between 1983 and 1999 based on in situ rain gauge ...
Climate Variability in the Andes of Ecuador and Its Relation to Tropical Pacific and Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The main spatiotemporal modes of seasonal precipitation and temperature variability in the Andes of Ecuador (1°N?4°S) and their relation to tropical Pacific and Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) between ...
Changes in Extreme Climate Indices for the Northeastern United States, 1870–2005
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The northeastern United States is one of the most variable climates in the world, and how climate extremes are changing is critical to populations, industries, and the environment in this region. A long-term (1870?2005) ...
A Computer-based Atlas of Global Instrumental Climate Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Color-shaded and contoured images of global gridded instrumental data have been produced as a computer-based atlas, available to the climate community through Internet. Each image simultaneously depicts anomaly maps of ...
Annual and Daily Meteorological Cycles at High Altitude on a Tropical Mountain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An automated weather station was installed in October 1996 at the summit of Nevado Sajama, located in the western Andean Cordillera of Bolivia (6542 m, 18°06?S, 68°53?W). Meteorological conditions on the mountain are being ...
Temporal Changes in the Observed Relationship between Cloud Cover and Surface Air Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between cloud cover and near-surface air temperature and its decadal changes are examined using the hourly synoptic data for the past four to six decades from five regions of the Northern Hemisphere: Canada, ...
Global Temperature Patterns in Past Centuries: An Interactive Presentation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The recent availability of global networks of annual or seasonal resolution proxy data, combined with the few long instrumental and historical climate records available during the past few centuries, make it possible now ...
