Abstract: During the spring and summer of 1979 a multi-ship survey studied the changes in currents along the East African coast in response to the transition from the northeast to the southwest monsoon. The Somali Current in late ...

Abstract: This study investigates the predictability of seasonal mean circulation anomalies associated purely with the influence of anomalous sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Within this framework, seasonal mean atmospheric anomalies ...

Abstract: The relative contributions of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO), long-term tropical Pacific variations, and the Arctic oscillation (AO) to the explained variance of U.S. precipitation and surface air temperature are ...

Abstract: Time series representing two of the climate systems leading patterns of variability, namely El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Arctic Oscillation (AO), are used together with 50 yr of daily mean surface air ...

Abstract: Three-day accumulations of precipitation for 2.5° long ? 2.0° lat areas along the west coast of the United States are used to rank precipitation events. Extreme precipitation events (those above the 90th percentile) occur ...

Abstract: The NCEP and NCAR are cooperating in a project (denoted ?reanalysis?) to produce a 40-year record of global analyses of atmospheric fields in support of the needs of the research and climate monitoring communities. This ...
