Abstract: Large-scale atmospheric variables have been statistically downscaled to derive winter (December?March) maximum daily precipitation at stations over North America using the generalized extreme value distribution (GEV). Here, ...

Abstract: he annual cycle is the largest variability for many climate variables outside the tropics. Whether human activities have affected the annual cycle at the regional scale is unclear. In this study, long-term changes in the ...

Abstract: Using an optimal detection technique, the extent to which the combined effect of changes in greenhouse gases and sulfate aerosols (GS) may be detected in observed surface temperatures is assessed in six spatial domains ...

Abstract: Previous studies have described the impacts of wind stress variations in the eastern Pacific on sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies associated with the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. However, these ...

Abstract: The authors use a new and novel heat balance formalism for the upper 50 m of the Niño-3 region (5°N?5°S, 90°?150°W) to investigate the oceanographic processes underlying interannual sea surface temperature (SST) variations ...

Abstract: he bifurcation of the North Equatorial Current (NEC) plays an important role in the heat and water mass exchanges between the tropical and subtropical gyres in the Pacific Ocean. The variability of western boundary transport ...

Abstract: The multichannel singular spectrum analysis has been used to characterize the spatio?temporal structures of interdecadal and interannual variability of SST over the Pacific Ocean from 20°S to 58°N. Using the Comprehensive ...
