Skill of Seasonal Rainfall and Temperature Forecasts for East Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Skillful seasonal forecasts can provide useful information for decision-makers, particularly in regions heavily dependent on agriculture, such as East Africa. We analyze prediction skill for seasonal East African rainfall ...
The Driving Processes of Concurrent Hot and Dry Extreme Events in China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Tropical Cyclone–Related Precipitation over the Northwest Tropical Pacific in Met Office Global Operational Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe tropical west Pacific Ocean and the Philippines are often affected by tropical cyclones (TCs), with threats to human life and of severe economic damage. The performance of the Met Office global operational ...
A Teleconnection between Forced Great Plains Snow Cover and European Winter Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anomalies in Siberian snow cover have been shown to affect Eurasian winter climate through the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). The existence of a teleconnection between North American snow cover and the NAO is far less ...
A Comparison of Three Canopy Interception Models for a Leafless Mixed Deciduous Forest Stand in the Eastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Canopy interception of incident precipitation is a critical component of the forest water balance during each of the four seasons. Models have been developed to predict precipitation interception from standard meteorological ...
A Mechanism for the Recently Increased Interdecadal Variability of the Silk Road Pattern
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Silk Road pattern (SRP) teleconnection manifests in summer over Eurasia, where it is associated with substantial temperature and precipitation anomalies. The SRP varies on interannual and decadal scales; reanalyses ...
Interdecadal Seesaw of Precipitation Variability between North China and the Southwest United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper reports a consistent seesaw relationship between interdecadal precipitation variability over North China and the Southwest United States, which can be found in observations and simulations with several ...
Contribution of Tropical Cyclones to Atmospheric Moisture Transport and Rainfall over East Asia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe coastal region of East Asia (EA) is one of the regions with the most frequent impacts from tropical cyclones (TCs). In this study, rainfall and moisture transports related to TCs are measured over EA, and the ...
The Importance of High-Frequency Sea Surface Temperature Variability to the Intraseasonal Oscillation of Indian Monsoon Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: While the Indian monsoon exhibits substantial variability on interannual time scales, its intraseasonal variability (ISV) is of greater magnitude and hence of critical importance for monsoon predictability. This ISV comprises ...
The Intraseasonal Variability of the Indian Summer Monsoon Using TMI Sea Surface Temperatures and ECMWF Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The northward-propagating intraseasonal (30?40 day) oscillation (NPISO) between active and break monsoon phases exerts a critical control on summer-season rainfall totals over India. Advances in diagnosing these events and ...
