Abstract: his paper reports an attribution analysis that quantifies addible contributions to the observed temperature anomalies from radiative and nonradiative processes in terms of both amplitude and spatial pattern for the two ...

Abstract: n the basis of the total energy balance within an atmosphere?surface column, an attribution analysis is conducted for the Northern Hemisphere (NH) atmospheric and surface temperature response to the northern annular mode ...

Abstract: The present study reveals the changes in the characteristics of cold surges over East Asia associated with the Arctic Oscillation (AO). Based on circulation features, cold surges are grouped into two general types: wave ...

Abstract: The impacts of initialized land surface conditions on the monthly prediction were investigated using ensemble simulations from the Community Atmosphere Model version 3 (CAM3). The land surface initialization was based on ...

Abstract: he mass footprints associated with atmospheric blocks over the North Pacific are evaluated by constructing daily tendencies of total mass over the blocking domain from three-dimensional mass fluxes throughout the life cycle ...
