Abstract: The ways in which deep convection over the tropical Atlantic affects the midlatitude climate variability through meridional circulation, planetary wave teleconnection, and wave?mean flow interaction is examined for the ...

Abstract: t is widely thought that changes in both the surface buoyancy fluxes and wind stress drive variability in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), but that they drive variability on different time scales. ...

Abstract: This work presents a description of the 1979?2002 tropical Atlantic (TA) SST variability modes coupled to the anomalous West African (WA) rainfall during the monsoon season. The time-evolving SST patterns, with an impact ...

Abstract: eather regimes (WRs) have been defined over the Euro-Mediterranean region (15°?70°N, 60°W?60°E) from May to October using the daily sea level pressure, 700-hPa geopotential height, and specific humidity from the European ...

Abstract: AbstractThe Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) is the leading mode of Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) variability at multidecadal time scales. Previous studies have shown that the AMO could modulate El Niño?Southern ...

Abstract: AbstractState-of-the-art general circulation models show important systematic errors in their simulation of sea surface temperatures (SST), especially in the tropical Atlantic. In this work the spread in the simulation of ...

Abstract: he Sahel experienced a severe drought during the 1970s and 1980s after wet periods in the 1950s and 1960s. Although rainfall partially recovered since the 1990s, the drought had devastating impacts on society. Most studies ...
