RISClimatology and Variability of Precipitation in the Twentieth-Century Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he performance of the Twentieth-Century Reanalysis (20CR) in reproducing observed monthly mean precipitation over the global domain is compared to that of comprehensive reanalyses that also assimilate upper-air and satellite ...
Beyond Thermal Interaction between Ocean and Atmosphere: On the Extratropical Climate Variability due to the Wind-Induced SST
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Prescribing sea surface temperature (SST) for the atmospheric general circulation models (GCM) may not lead to underestimation of the coupled variability. In this study, a set of SST-driven atmospheric GCM experiments, ...
The 1976/77 North Pacific Climate Regime Shift: The Role of Subtropical Ocean Adjustment and Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Feedbacks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, a new modeling approach is used to look for potential causes of the North Pacific decadal climate regime shift. This new modeling approach is specifically designed to assess not only how changes of the ...

Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA neural-network-based cluster technique, the so-called self-organizing map (SOM), was performed to extract distinct sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly patterns during boreal winter. The SOM technique has ...
The Paths of Extratropical Cyclones Associated with Wintertime High-Wind Events in the Northeastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study analyzes the association between wintertime high-wind events (HWEs) in the northeastern United States and extratropical cyclones. Sustained wind maxima in the daily summary data from the National Climatic Data ...
Dynamical Causes of the 2010/11 Texas–Northern Mexico Drought
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he causes of the Texas?northern Mexico drought during 2010?11 are shown, using observations, reanalyses, and model simulations, to arise from a combination of ocean forcing and internal atmospheric variability. The drought ...
Seasonal Rainfall Prediction Skill over South Africa: One- versus Two-Tiered Forecasting Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: orecast performance by coupled ocean?atmosphere or one-tiered models predicting seasonal rainfall totals over South Africa is compared with forecasts produced by computationally less demanding two-tiered systems where ...
A Vector Autoregressive ENSO Prediction Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors investigate a sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA)-only vector autoregressive (VAR) model for prediction of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO). VAR generalizes the linear inverse method (LIM) framework to ...
Role of Equatorial Pacific SST Forecast Error in the Late Winter California Precipitation Forecast for the 2015/16 El Niño
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDuring the strong 2015/16 El Niño, only normal to below-average precipitation fell across California in the late winter. This disagrees with both predictions by the ensemble mean of forecast models and expectations ...
Atlantic Multidecadal Variability as a Modulator of Precipitation Variability in the Southwest United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTwo independent atmospheric general circulation models reveal that the positive (negative) phase of Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) can reduce (amplify) the variance of the shorter time-scale (e.g., ENSO ...
