Abstract: Monthly sea level in the Pacific Ocean (30°S?30°N) is analyzed for the 1948?98 period. It is shown that most sea level variations in this region have large scales, and so the available network of tide gauge stations is ...

Abstract: An analysis of the tropical Pacific Ocean from January 1983 to December 1992 is used to describe the annual cycle, with the main focus on subsurface temperature variations. Some analysis of ocean-current variations are ...

Abstract: In response to the development of a new higher-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) analysis at the National Meteorological Center (NMC), a new monthly 1° global sea surface temperature climatology was constructed from ...

Abstract: This paper is an extension of a study by C. Ropelewski and M. Halpert, which examines observed precipitation relationships with the Southern Oscillation. Here, the authors repeat their analysis using atmospheric general ...

Abstract: In an earlier study (Reynolds and Smith), a monthly 1° SST climatology was produced for the 1950?79 base period. This climatology was constructed from two intermediate climatologies: a 2° SST climatology developed from in ...

Abstract: A monthly extended reconstruction of global SST (ERSST) is produced based on Comprehensive Ocean?Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) release 2 observations from the 1854?1997 period. Improvements come from the use of updated COADS ...

Abstract: A monthly extended reconstruction of global SST (ERSST) is produced based on Comprehensive Ocean?Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) release 2 observations from the 1854?1997 period. Improvements come from the use of updated COADS ...

Abstract: A merged land?air?sea surface temperature reconstruction analysis is developed for monthly anomalies. The reconstruction is global and spatially complete. Reconstructed anomalies damp toward zero in regions with insufficient ...

Abstract: This study addresses the interdecadal trend in potential skill score as estimated from the 500-hPa height temporal correlation coefficient (TCC), based on a 50-yr 10-member ensemble GCM integration with observed SST. The ...

Abstract: An improved SST reconstruction for the 1854?1997 period is developed. Compared to the version 1 analysis, in the western tropical Pacific, the tropical Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, more variance is resolved in the new ...
