RISEmpirical Extended-Range Prediction of the Madden–Julian Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An empirical model that predicts the evolution of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) in outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) and 200-mb streamfunction is developed. The model is based on the assumption that the MJO can be ...
Relationships between Spring Snow Mass and Summer Precipitation in the Southwestern United States Associated with the North American Monsoon System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper provides a detailed description of the relationship between spring snow mass in the mountain areas of the western United States and summertime precipitation in the southwestern United States associated with the ...
Wave-Driven Zonal Flow Vacillation in the Southern Hemisphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The variability of the zonal mean flow in the Southern Hemisphere during the period 1985?94 is studied using European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts analyses. The dominant mode of variability has approximately equivalent ...
Northern High-Latitude Precipitation as Depicted by Atmospheric Reanalyses and Satellite Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monthly precipitation based on forecasts from the new 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) is evaluated for the north polar region (the region north of 45°N), the terrestrial Arctic drainage, and its four major watersheds: the ...
Probabilistic Forecasts of the Onset of the North Australian Wet Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The amount and timing of early wet-season rainfall are important for the management of many agricultural industries in north Australia. With this in mind, a wet-season onset date is defined based on the accumulation of ...
