Abstract: For six consecutive seasons around the 1982?83 El Niño event the relation between observed anomalies in atmospheric circulation patterns and anomalies in various forcing mechanisms is diagnosed. A linear model is used in ...

Abstract: Using a two-level linear, steady state model, we diagnose the 40-day mean response of a GCM to a tropical sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly. The time-mean anomalies produced by the GCM are simulated as linear response ...
