The Coupling of the Annual Cycle and ENSO Over the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the tropical Pacific, the annual variation of sea surface temperature (SST) consists of two distinct components with respect to the equator, 1) an antisymmetric extratropical annual cycle and 2) a symmetric equatorial ...
Sensitivity of the Systematic Error of Extended Range Forecasts to Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of the systematic error of extended-range forecasts to sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies is investigated. General circulation model (GCM) experiments were performed to quantify error patterns for warm, ...
An Assessment of ENSO-Scale Secular Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Secular changes in the spatial and temporal structures of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle using four different versions of global sea surface temperature (SST) analysis are examined. The assessments were made ...
Influence of the North American Monsoon System on the U.S. Summer Precipitation Regime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Key features of the U.S. summer precipitation regime are examined within the context of the evolving North American monsoon system. The focus is on the antecedent and subsequent atmospheric conditions over the conterminous ...
Tropical and Extratropical Interaction and Its Impact on Extended-Range Forecasting. Part I: The Impact of Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of the sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies on predictions in the extratropics has been studied by comparing circulation changes in general circulation model experiments generated with observed and climatological ...
Heat Transfer Characteristics of an Inclined Impinging Jet on a Curved Surface in Crossflow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study reports on heat transfer characteristics on a curved surface subject to an inclined circular impinging jet whose impinging angle varies from a normal position خ¸â€‰= 0 deg to خ¸â€‰= 45 deg at a fixed jet ...
Decadal Covariability of the Northern Wintertime Land Surface Temperature and Atmospheric Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he decadal covariability of northern wintertime land surface temperature and 500-hPa geopotential anomalies is examined using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?National Center for Atmospheric Research and ...
Impact of Satellite Data an the CDAS-Reanalysis System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In preparation for the execution of the National Meteorological Center and National Center for Atmospheric Research (NMC/NCAR) Reanalysis Project, which will cover the period 1958?93, the impact of satellite data on both ...
Observed Trends in Canada’s Climate and Influence of Low-Frequency Variability Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rends in Canada?s climate are analyzed using recently updated data to provide a comprehensive view of climate variability and long-term changes over the period of instrumental record. Trends in surface air temperature, ...
