Abstract: Maps of regression coefficients of sea level pressure, surface wind and cloudiness on a Southern Oscillation Index are presented for Northern Hemisphere fall and winter. To cheek the significance of the fields obtained, ...

Abstract: Experiments using OGCM output have been performed to assess sampling strategies for the Argo array in the Indian Ocean. The results suggest that spatial sampling is critical for resolving intraseasonal oscillations in the ...

Abstract: Air temperature measurement has inherent biases associated with the particular radiation shield and sensor deployed. The replacement of the Cotton Region Shelter (CRS) with the Maximum?Minimum Temperature System (MMTS) and ...

Abstract: A global ocean circulation model, driven by observed interannual fluxes, is used to gain insight into how sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs, i.e., variations from the mean seasonal signal) in the tropical and ...

Abstract: The near-surface dynamics and thermodynamics of the Indian Ocean are examined in a global ocean general circulation model (OGCM) with enhanced tropical resolution. The model uses a Seager-type heat flux formulation (weak ...

Abstract: he seasonal cycle of blocking in the Australian region is shown to be associated with major seasonal temperature changes over continental Antarctica (approximately 15°?35°C) and Australia (about 8°?17°C) and with minor ...

Abstract: The Indian Ocean is unique among the three tropical ocean basins in that it is blocked at 25°N by the Asian landmass. Seasonal heating and cooling of the land sets the stage for dramatic monsoon wind reversals, strong ...

Abstract: The tropical oceans have long been recognized as the most important region for large-scale ocean?atmosphere interactions, giving rise to coupled climate variations on several time scales. During the Tropical Ocean Global ...
