Abstract: he authors use a statistical regional climate model [Statistical Regional Model (STAR)] to project the Tibetan Plateau (TP) climate for the period 2015?50. Reanalysis datasets covering 1958?2001 are used as a substitute ...

Abstract: Climate forecast skills are evaluated for surface temperature time series at grid points of a millennium control simulation from a state-of-the-art global circulation model [ECHAM5?Max Planck Institute Ocean Model (MPI-OM)]. ...

Abstract: his paper uses the 42-yr German Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (GECCO) synthesis data to analyze and examine the relationship of the Indian Ocean deep meridional overturning circulation (DMOC) with the ...

Abstract: limate variability is often studied in terms of fluctuations with respect to the mean state, whereas the dependence between the mean and variability is rarely discussed. Here, a new climate metric is proposed to measure ...

Abstract: recipitation maxima in global climate model (GCM) simulations are compared with observations in terms of resolution dependence and climate change. The analysis shows the following results: (i) the observed scaling law ...

Abstract: he observed relation of worldwide precipitation maxima P versus duration d follows the Jennings scaling law, P ≈ db, with scaling coefficient b ≈ 0.5. This scaling is demonstrated to hold for single-station rainfall extending ...

Abstract: The authors describe a statistical analog resampling scheme, similar to the ?intentionally biased bootstrap,? for future climate projections whose only constraint is a prescribed linear temperature trend. It provides a ...

Abstract: everal studies show that the anomalous long-lasting Russian heat wave during the summer of 2010, linked to a long-persistent blocking high, appears mainly as a result of natural atmospheric variability. This study analyzes ...

Abstract: o complement geographical presentation of remote sensing vegetation information, the authors apply Budyko?s physical state space diagram to analyze functional climate relations. As an example, the authors use Interim ECMWF ...
