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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
