Abstract: A compilation of Southern Hemisphere (SH) explosively developing cyclones (or ?bombs?) has been assembled based on the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?Department of Energy reanalysis-2 data over the 21-yr ...

Abstract: The mean characteristics and trends of Southern Hemisphere (SH) winter extratropical cyclones occurring at six levels of the troposphere over the period 1979?2001 have been investigated using the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis ...

Abstract: The recent NCEP?Department of Energy (DOE) Reanalysis-2 update of the original NCEP?NCAR dataset provides what is arguably the highest quality analyses spanning two decades available for the high southern latitudes. It ...

Abstract: his study investigates the causes and predictability of the different springtime rainfall responses over Australia for El Niño in 1997 and 2002. The rainfall deficit over Australia is generally assumed to be linearly related ...

Abstract: redictability of the southern annular mode (SAM) for lead times beyond 1?2 weeks has traditionally been considered to be low because the SAM is regarded as an internal mode of variability with a typical decorrelation time ...

Abstract: orecast skill for seasonal mean rainfall across northern Australia is lower during the summer monsoon than in the premonsoon transition season based on 25 years of hindcasts using the Predictive Ocean Atmosphere Model for ...

Abstract: easonal variations of subtropical precipitation anomalies associated with the southern annular mode (SAM) are explored for the period 1979?2011. In all seasons, high-polarity SAM, which refers to a poleward-shifted eddy-driven ...
