Abstract: sing multiple observational and model datasets, the authors document a strengthening relationship between boreal winter sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the western North Pacific (WNP) and the development of ...

Abstract: There is increasing evidence indicating that the climate response to variations in the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) includes not only thermally forced zonal wind anomalies in the subtropics but also eddy-driven zonal ...

Abstract: Two questions are addressed in this paper: whether ENSO can be adequately characterized by simple, seasonally invariant indices and whether the time series of a single component?SST or OLR?provides a sufficiently complete ...

Abstract: For the uncoupled atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) simulations, the quantification of errors due to the lack of coupled ocean?atmospheric evolution on the characteristics of the atmospheric interannual variability ...

Abstract: model predictions of ENSO conditions during the 2002?11 period are evaluated and compared to skill levels documented in studies of the 1990s. ENSO conditions are represented by the Niño- 3.4 SST index in the east-central ...

Abstract: n interdecadal shift in the variability and mean state of the tropical Pacific Ocean is investigated within the context of changes in El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Compared with 1979?99, the interannual variability ...

Abstract: revious work has shown that the combined influence of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) significantly impacts the wintertime circulation over North America for lead times up to at ...
