Abstract: Several multivariate tests for differences of the mean which are based upon resampling schemes are examined in a series of Monte Carlo experiments. We examine the power of these tests under two sets of experimental situations: ...

Abstract: This paper describes a potential predictability study on the results of a 20.5 year simulation conducted with the Canadian Climate Centre (CCC) General Circulation Model (GCM). The CCC GCM is an atmosphere GCM with surface ...

Abstract: Statistical and dynamical relationships between observed values of a geophysical system or model effectively reduce the number of independent data. This reduction is expressible in terms of the covariance structure of the ...

Abstract: Statistical tests used in model intercomparisons or model/climate comparisons may be either ?scalar? or ?multivariate? tests. The former are employed when testing a hypothesis about a single variable observed at a single ...

Abstract: A comparison is made between the climate simulated by the Canadian Climate Centre (CCC) General Circulation Model when run its usual ?annual cycle?mode, in which the solar declination angle varies annually, and the climate ...

Abstract: This study provides further evidence of the impacts of tropical Pacific interannual [El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO)] and Northern Pacific decadal?interdecadal [North Pacific index (NPI)] variability on the Pacific?North ...

Abstract: AbstractThe paper presents results from a climate change detection and attribution study on the decline of Arctic sea ice extent in September for the 1953?2012 period. For this period three independently derived observational ...
