Associations between δ18O of Water and Climate Parameters in a Simulation of Atmospheric Circulation for 1979–95
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Melbourne University spectral atmospheric general circulation model is adapted to include prediction of stable water isotopes. The new scheme performs well when the modeled δ18O of precipitation is compared to both ...
Dominant Covarying Climate Signals in the Southern Ocean and Antarctic Sea Ice Influence during the Last Three Decades
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA composite dataset (comprising geopotential height, sea surface temperature, zonal and meridional surface winds, precipitation, cloud cover, surface air temperature, latent plus sensible heat fluxes, and sea ice ...
The Antarctic Circumpolar Wave: Its Presence and Interdecadal Changes during the Last 142 Years
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Southern Ocean (SO) is the region of the World Ocean bordering on Antarctica over which significant exchanges between the atmosphere, the ocean, and the sea ice take place. Here, the strong and nearly unhindered ...
Quantification of the Influences of Wind and Cloud on the Nocturnal Urban Heat Island of a Large City
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analyses taken over all observed weather conditions of daily 0600 EST climate data from a network of monitoring stations in and around the large city of Melbourne, Australia, revealed a 20-yr mean urban heat island (UHI) ...
Combined Influences on North American Winter Air Temperature Variability from North Pacific Blocking and the North Atlantic Oscillation: Subseasonal and Interannual Time Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Winter surface air temperature (SAT) over North America exhibits pronounced variability on subseasonal, interannual, decadal, and interdecadal time scales. Here, reanalysis data from 1950–2017 are analyzed to investigate ...
