Effect of Preconditioning on the Extreme Climate Events in the Tropical Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea surface temperature observations in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean (EEIO) during the period 1950?2003 indicate that Indian Ocean dipole/zonal mode (IODZM) events are strong in two decades, namely, the 1960s and ...
On the Relation between the Boreal Spring Position of the Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone and Atlantic Zonal Mode
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPrevious studies have talked about the existence of a relation between the Atlantic meridional mode (AMM) and Atlantic zonal mode (AZM) via the meridional displacement of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) ...
Impact of Indian Ocean Sea Surface Temperature on Developing El Niño
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Prior to the 1976?77 climate shift (1950?76), sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the tropical Indian Ocean consisted of a basinwide warming during boreal fall of the developing phase of most El Niños, whereas after ...
Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response to Seasonal Modulation of Ocean Color: Impact on Interannual Climate Simulations in the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ability to use remotely sensed ocean color data to parameterize biogenic heating in a coupled ocean?atmosphere model is investigated. The model used is a hybrid coupled model recently developed at the Earth System ...
