Abstract: The current major expansion in observational capability of line National Weather Service is principally in the volume of asynchronous data rather than synchronous observations at the standard synoptic times. Hence, the ...

Abstract: Analysis of a suite of atmospheric GCM experiments for 1950?94 shows that both the tropical and the extratropical wintertime climate respond nonlinearly with respect to opposite phases of ENSO. Such behavior is found to ...

Abstract: AbstractWhile a strong influence on cold season southwest Asia precipitation by Pacific sea surface temperatures (SSTs) has been previously established, the scarcity of southwest Asia precipitation observations prior to ...

Abstract: Regional climate, anomalies associated with year-to-year changes in the tropospheric zonal-mean zonal wind (?) are examined. This study focuses on the wintertime Northern Hemisphere extratropics and compares seasonal mean ...

Abstract: AbstractThe sensitivity of southwest Asia (25°?40°N, 40°?70°E) precipitation during the November?April rainy season to four types of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, eastern Pacific (EP) and central Pacific (CP) ...

Abstract: iagnosing the sensitivity of the tropical belt provides one framework for understanding how global precipitation patterns may change in a warming world. This paper seeks to understand boreal winter rates of subtropical dry ...

Abstract: he predictability of North American climate is diagnosed by taking into account both forced climate change and natural decadal-scale climate variability over the next decade. In particular, the ?signal? in North American ...
