Abstract: A lagged maximum covariance analysis (MCA) is utilized to investigate large-scale patterns of covariability between sea surface temperature (SST) in the global tropics and 500-mb geopotential height (Z500) in the extratropics ...

Abstract: lagged maximum covariance analysis (MCA) is applied to investigate the linear covariability between monthly sea ice concentration (SIC) and 500-mb geopotential height (Z500) in the Southern Hemisphere (SH). The dominant ...

Abstract: ttribution studies conclude that it is extremely likely that most observed global- and continental-scale surface air temperature (SAT) warming since 1950 was caused by anthropogenic forcing, but some difficulties and ...

Abstract: Estimates of the amplitudes of the forced responses of the surface temperature field over the last century are provided by a signal processing scheme utilizing space?time empirical orthogonal functions for several combinations ...

Abstract: Many climatic and geophysical processes are cyclostationary and exhibit appreciable cyclic (monthly, daily, etc.) variation of their statistics in addition to interannual fluctuations. Utilization of this nested variation ...

Abstract: The linear trends for a number of fields obtained from the reanalyses of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP?NCAR) are calculated for the Northern Hemisphere ...

Abstract: Trends in surface temperature over the last 100, 50, and 30 yr at individual grid boxes in a 5° latitude?longitude grid are compared with model estimates of the natural internal variability of these trends and with the ...

Abstract: Identification of independent physical/dynamical modes and corresponding principal component time series is an important aspect of climate studies for they serve as a tool for detecting and predicting climate changes. While ...

Abstract: he impact of the Eurasian snow cover extent on the Northern Hemisphere (NH) circulation is investigated by applying a lagged maximum covariance analysis (MCA) to monthly satellite-derived snow cover and NCEP reanalysis ...
