Abstract: The analysis of corrected ship reports [sea level pressure (SLP), sea surface temperature (SST), air temperature (AT)] and corrected land data (SLP, AT, rainfall) in the Indian sector reveals the existence of two low-frequency ...

Abstract: Here the 1976?77 climate regime shift that was accompanied by a remarkable change in the lead?lag relationships between Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) and El Niño evolution is shown. After the 1976?77 regime ...

Abstract: In the past the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) has sometimes been proposed to explain the tendency for the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) to alternate between strong and weak years. In this study, NCEP ...

Abstract: ecent studies have pointed out an increased warming over the Indian Ocean warm pool (the central-eastern Indian Ocean characterized by sea surface temperatures greater than 28.0°C) during the past half-century, although ...

Abstract: he growth and decay mechanisms of subtropical dipole modes in the southern Indian and South Atlantic Oceans and their impacts on southern African rainfall are investigated using results from a coupled general circulation ...

Abstract: nterannual variations of sea surface temperature (SST) in the midlatitudes of the Southern Hemisphere play an important role in the rainfall variability over the surrounding countries by modulating synoptic-scale atmospheric ...
