Abstract: The NMC Barotropic-Mesh Model has been used to test a statistical correction procedure, designated as M-II, that was developed in Schemm et al. In the present application, statistical corrections at 12 h resulted in ...

Abstract: Composites based on observations and model outputs from the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) drought experiments were used to examine the impact of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Atlantic ...

Abstract: tmosphere?land?ocean coupled model simulations are examined to diagnose the ability of models to simulate drought and persistent wet spells over the United States. A total of seven models are selected for this study. They ...

Abstract: he Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) is known to exert some control on the variations of North Atlantic tropical cyclone (TC) activity within a hurricane season. To explore the possibility of better TC predictions based on ...

Abstract: Observational evidence has indicated the important role of the interaction of the atmosphere with the sea surface in the development and maintenance of the tropical intraseasonal oscillation (ISO). However, improvements ...

Abstract: Canonical correlation analysis (CCA), a linear statistical method designed to find correlated patterns between predictor and predictand fields, is applied to the eastern Asian region of Korea and Japan. The cross-validation ...

Abstract: In this study, a statistical model is developed that exploits the slow evolution of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) to predict tropical rainfall variability at long lead times (i.e., 5?20 days). The model is based on ...

Abstract: This work examines the performance of Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) forecasts from NCEP?s coupled and uncoupled general circulation models (GCMs) and statistical models. The forecast skill from these methods is evaluated ...
