Abstract: An anomaly model linearized around the observed winter climatology is used to study the steady response of the atmosphere to diabatic heating. The model is an R7, nine vertical levels, primitive equations, fully spectral ...

Abstract: Anomally models based on a spectral general circulation model (GCM) are formulated and applied to study of low-frequency atmospheric variability in the extratropics, and long-range forecasting research. A steady linear ...

Abstract: The Schmidt decomposition is applied to the evolution operator of the linearized barotropic equation on a sphere (in the following referred to as the barotropic propagator) to study the evolution of the variance, that is, ...

Abstract: A new method is presented to detect the portion of variability connected between two climatic fields. The method is a realization of the Procrustes problem, and it is a generalization of methods for analysis of variance ...

Abstract: AbstractENSO is investigated here by considering it as a transition from different states. Transition probability matrices can be defined to describe the evolution of ENSO in this way. Sea surface temperature anomalies are ...

Abstract: This study investigates the possible changes that greenhouse global warming might generate in the characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs). The analysis has been performed using scenario climate simulations carried out ...

Abstract: This article discusses the interplay between computational experiments and scientific advancement in dynamical meteorology and climate dynamics. In doing so, the emphasis is on the dual role of computations in prediction ...

Abstract: The double?intertropical convergence zone (DI) systematic error, affecting state-of-the-art coupled general circulation models (CGCMs), is examined in the multimodel Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth ...

Abstract: he understanding of the dynamics of the El Niño?La Niña phenomenon in the tropical Pacific has been the subject of an impressive number of works in the last 20 years. The delayed oscillator theory provides an interpretative ...
