Abstract: Tropical cyclone tracks in the Australian basin are predicted by an analog ensemble forecast model. It is self-adapting in its search of optimal ensemble members from historic cyclone tracks by creating a metric that ...

Abstract: The spatial degrees of freedom (dof) of atmospheric flows are estimated by comparing the variance of the theoretical standardized chi-squared distribution with the sum of the squared eigenvalues of a spatial correlation ...

Abstract: o complement geographical presentation of remote sensing vegetation information, the authors apply Budyko?s physical state space diagram to analyze functional climate relations. As an example, the authors use Interim ECMWF ...

Abstract: egetation greenness distributions [based on remote sensing normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)] and their change are analyzed as functional vegetation?climate relations in a two-dimensional ecohydrological state ...

Abstract: The representation of tropical precipitation is evaluated across three generations of models participating in phases 3, 5, and 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Compared to state-of-the-art observations, ...
