Abstract: A technique is presented for selection of principal components for which the geophysical signal is greater than the level of noise. The level of noise is simulated by repeated sampling of principal components computed from ...

Abstract: A theoretical framework is developed to consider the abilities of analog techniques for the prediction of short-term climate fluctuations. The basic element of the framework is the definition of a ?climate state vector.? ...

Abstract: Methods of estimating the significance of optimal regression models selected from a model hierarchy proposed by Barnett and Hasselmann (1979) are reexamined allowing for the multiple-candidate nature of the selection ...

Abstract: Vessel icing from wave-generated spray is a severe hazard to expanded marine operations in high latitudes. Hardships in making observations during operations, combined with differences in vessel type and heading, have ...
